Because most of the people on Lemmy are refugees from reddit and nowadays on reddit, if you are not a porn focused sub then they require you to censor every damn thing or face getting banned from that particular subreddit, getting banned from several subreddits depending on who’s modding and how many subs they are modding and how fucking stupid their bots happen to be, or getting banned from the entire site by the admins on their particular whim for that day/week.

Someone else already answered the why. What I think the best reaction is when you see this kind of bullshit censorship is just down vote it.

Because we normalized self-censorship to make it more palatable to everyone. Which is stupid.

Irony doesn’t make it better. Every self-censor is trying to use irony.
