I think butterfly has a script that uploads, which is why sometimes their script fails and you get garbleposts/images
Do you really think the OP is actually on twitter, curating these fine screencaps for us themselves?

Why would you post something that’s been censored?

There’s literally a whole thread about this in here.

Stop sharing censored posts then? I’m tired of all these fucking cowards giving in to bullshit censorship.

I understand what you’re saying.
However, if artifacts from a screenshot’s trip around the web is the worst thing that’s happened to you this week, maybe consider how lucky you are.
Or maybe something bad has happened. Have you had a bad week or month and it’s coming out here? It’s ok to admit it when we’re scared or afraid. Fear is the mind killer, after all. Fear makes us act in irrational ways.
Like calling a bot account that shares twitter screenshots a fucking coward giving in to bullshit censorship because a script pulls images from a site somewhere else that cares about that kind of thing.

I’m more concerned with the original censorship than the bot propagating it. It’s showing humans are being convinced to align with a campaign of self regulation that aligns with, in my opinion, a dim and sad future driven by puritans at best or authoritarians at worst.

Of course, no one should be normalizing authoritarian styles of leadership. But that perspective is a relative luxury only afforded to privileged people not living in that situation already.
Have you considered the possibility that whatever the source is of these weakly censored images is intended to demonstrate the ease with which anyone can circumvent repressive blocks? To mock them? That whoever’s account this is spends the time to minimally censor for the bots to ensure that, more importantly, the message gets out regardless of the rules? That posts like this demonstrate the futility and arrogance of the limp-dicked censorship, mocking its effects and demonstrating the paper tiger for what it is?
That this post about whales having an argument demonstrates that censorship is flawed and brittle and fucking stupid. That anyone can get around it when it’s important to do so. That authoritarians, be they Zuckerburg or Putin, are foolish in their hubris.
Or do you only see this for what it is?

How about you start sharing what you want to see on Lemmy then? You posted 30 posts in almost 3 years… LadyButterfly creates like 40% of content on this platform.
