Hey, you’re trying to censor with asterisks but Lemmy interprets those as formatting instructions. If you want the asterisks to show up, you need to put a backslash in front of them like so:
Cheap ones are s\**t, worn out ones are also s\**t.
Comment on These shipping tape things

Cheap ones are st, worn out ones are also st. Adjusting the tension on the tape roller is a fine art as batch to batch the glue can change.
God I need to get out more !

And we’re all adult enough to handle reading the words.
It’s such a strange idea to use bad words but okay it by censoring letters out. Either use the word or don’t.
Okay. I was explaining how to do asterisks.
Sorry, it wasn’t directed towards you. I was thinking out loud.
Thanks, forgot not everything is plain text !

You can say “shit” on the Internet.

Let them self censor. It’s their comment.
I’d personally prefer to see special characters than word replacement like “unalive”
Zorque@lemmy.world 3 weeks ago
Unalive is a s##tty replacement for the word shit.

You can say slutty on the internet.

Unalive is the replacement for dead.
RizzRustbolt@lemmy.world 3 weeks ago
I use “atropos” to replace it.
Because “thanatos” is filtered now.

There are multitudinous other words they could choose from.

Best edit ever.
Also, fuck.

Is it brainwashing, or adapting to circumvent actual censorship? People say “unalive” because “kill” will hide your content from the algorithm, if it doesn’t remove it entirely.

And yet here we all are, reading your comment. Maybe the algorithms on some platforms are that aggressive, but certainly not here.

What is brainwashing except forced adaptation to manufactured requirements?

Well shit, shitty, shit shit shit…
