Comment on minor tomfoolery 🛻💨🎶
Maalus@lemmy.world 3 weeks agoIt’s censored because a very specific country from which a lot of social media comes from has been created by puritans. Which even centuries later, has people repressing such basic things as sex, cursewords, nudity. Including text / graphical filters that will bury your content and show it to noone, if you don’t do it.

Bro this started in TikTok which is decidedly Chinese and not Puritan. Though it can be puritanical in the broadest sense.

Agreed, the beginning of the end of involuntary-only censorship happened when Tiktok got popular. The older generations try to find the limits of allowable content on platforms (within reason) but the younger ones effectively self-castrate everything they post everywhere. And it’s because one app owned by a Chinese company is a bit strict about it. It’s disappointing.
