    It’s considered stupid because it’s catering to big Capitalism and their platforms like TikTok that mess with your views because you are using controversial words.

    So it’s expected to meet some resistance when you’re on Lemmy.

      100% agree.

      I just have a chip on my shoulder about being made to speak in any particular way. So since I’m on Lemmy…

        Nobody will care if you self-censor in a reasonable way, like simply not saying the word, or using euphemisms like goshdarn.

        But writing f*ck is ridiculous

          Yeah, sure, but that’s exactly the point, the group is trying to dictate my free speech based on what they considered offensive. And not even for something significant like promoting violence or hate speech, just over the placement of an *. So I don’t really care if saying f*ck is ridiculous, nor do I care if saying fuck is considered unnecessary, nor any of the other litany of ways people try to control the free speech of others.

          I get that this is a very unpopular opinion on Lemmy, but honestly I don’t give a f*ck.
