What is up with three recent useless censoring of normal words?
Who the fuck thinks, that 'Nazi" needs to be censored?
Well, as a word. The people themselves are a different topic...
- Who the fuck thinks, that 'Nazi" needs to be censored?
  The social media platforms that it was posted to before Lemmy
  
  *shitty social media platforms
  
  That's implied
  
  They're not all shitty.
  
  true. but when does anyone ever show a mastodon or pixelfed post here?
  
  But I was referring to ones that require text censorship of the word. In other words shitty ones.
- The generation after millennials have been taught to prolifically self-censor by social media platforms.
  
  They can't even just say someone died. It's absurd. Death is a fact of life, one of only two truly universal experiences, and they can't even mention it without using clunky stupid sounding euphemisms.
  
  Well, i agree it is dumb but they might have the last laugh if AI is used to skim people's social media and target people for certain posts.....
  
  Does the last laugh mean, staying on those shitty platforms that are now (in your scenario) also using AI against them?
  I don't think that's a good outcome. They're platforms you want to be disconnected and pushed out of.
  Staying on them isn't a win in my books.
  
  Possibly, but the AI can simply be taught to include nonsense terms like "unalive", "un@live", etc in their search. And once they identify a target, heavy skim their words choices to further refine their filters, algorithms. Rinse & repeat.
- people like themselves some updoots and likearoonies so they can't risk the post upsetting the almighty algorithm!
