I hate headlines like this. The population is increasing, no shit 'more people than ever before have XYZ.' That's because there's more people now overall. Use the percentage or ratios of different times so you don't look like you failed math.

I also bet there were less people starving to death 200 years ago. Because there were less people across the board you ignominious Muppets.

Damn, that sucks but thanks for the response. So far that brings the list to ~~three~~ two words and no rationale or common theme save for one that is a modern slur.

For reference, my list so far: 1: removed (B word for female dogs) 2: removed (R word, derogatory for people with handicaps) ~~3: bullshit (B-u word for literal bovine turds)~~

Edit: my bullshit wasn't censored. Sorry to all the pooping cows.

Fun rule of journalism, 'Betteridge's Law' : if a headline asks a question, the answer is almost always 'no'.

Edit: lmao even the writer mentions in the first line. I mean why even try to argue your point after that?

As I've been noticing it more across lemmy, what word did you type that got changed to "removed"?

The one I've seen is a swear but most others aren't censored, and it seems to be an automated thing.

Edit: I suspect I figured it out so that's at least 2 words, one a debatable slur and one an obvious swear but with no socio-political implications otherwise.

Just to add to the topic of transparency: I've noticed that lemmy appears to censor the B word, but there's no mods checking the content (from what I can tell), it just auto changes the word to say "removed."

Oddly enough, the B word seems to be the only word (swear or otherwise) that's censored in such a way.

Fuck shit ass cock dick

removed (B word)

Genuinely can't tell if this is in error, or if there's someone higher in the chain that got called a removed and is taking it really personally.

Wholly agree with your point.

Off topic: why is the B word the only swear censored on blahaj.zone? I've noticed it in other communities from there and most, if not all other swears are safe.

B: removed Fuck shit ass cock dick pussy cunt

Either someone got mad for being called a B or they've got some conflicting thoughts on what justifies swearing and censorship.

Edit: might not be just blahaj, but that only extends my confusion.

You and your dad would love this, if y'all haven't seen already. They even did 2 more, each time they account for all the new developments in the stories that have happened, and all the upgrades/power-ups each character receives.

If you're spreading disinformation that benefits Russia, it doesn't even matter what your ideologies are. You're still spreading disinformation on behalf of Russia.

You can paint any moral picture you want, but that's the bottom line.

If everyone is calling you that here, maybe you should go back to truth social like the good little lap dog you are.
