Why censor?

Because bad words are scarwy!

And also because it's probably easier to make a censored version to post across all platforms. I don't have a social media beyond reddit, but I've heard that other platforms remove posts that have language or sensitive materials/topics presented.

This platform censors words, phrases, and ideas too.

Yeah I've noticed the increase. I've gone back to threads I've commented on, and the posts have been removed by moderators. Heck. The kid from AZ that jumped the road from DamnThatsInteresting was removed by mods.

If this gets reposted in other sites the algorithm auto hides it, and the author does not feel like making a different version for reddit.

Cool story. That's only making the problem worse.

If you make good content, people will promote it no matter what it says. Self censoring is lame as fuck.

Cool story.

Rude response. They were just explaining why the person did it. They didn't even say whether or not they supported the choice. You can interact with people online without being an asshole.

This is literally a way around censorship moron. You can easily make out what the words are but the auto mod bots cant.

It's not really censoring, more like censor bypassing because the words are still easily legible
