We are censoring conservative now? Or is that a bit of tongue in cheek joke?

[-] FractalsInfinite@sh.itjust.works 22 points 2 years ago

Its more of a joke, it implies that being conservative is like being "sh1t" or other such words.

[-] Gabu@lemmy.world 3 points 2 years ago

Which doesn't need to be censored either, unless you're using the shittiest app known to mankind.

Indeed, the only reason bad words are censored is to get around autoflags, which is a fucking stupid thing to do to your userbase, particularly because only advertisers, who aren't affected by it, are the only ones that care.

Someone once told me it was often to mitigate trolls searching specific terms for people to pick fights with.

Ah that makes a lot of sense, especially on Twitter. Thank you!

In my friend circles we do refer to the as "cuntservatives", but I'm guessing this person is worried about going viral in the wrong circles from conservatives searching for content with that key term, or maybe they're worried about algorithmic suppression based on key words.
