      Engagement bait. Here we are commenting on a lukewarm meme about a topic that most people dont give a flying fuck about.

        It’s literally not. It’s censored because it was posted on a Meta platform. You have to censor otherwise it will get taken down.

          Doesn’t have to be censored here though. Reposting shitty censored memes from shitty platforms that require censoring is absolutely bait.

            So you want the person to go out of their way to find an uncensored meme instead of posting what they find? Who the fuck cares? People who complain about censored words on Lemmy are way more annoying than the censored words themselves.

            Plus, engagement bait to what purpose? There is no karma, there is no money to be made here, there are no “influencers”.

            You are literally getting mad at people for posting content on a platform that desperately needs more content.

        Except commenting on a platform like Lemmy doesn’t do anything for the post. Only upvoting does. So self censorship is completely pointless and just straight up fucking dumb.

      Pictured: sanitizing the words “fuck” and “perverted” out of a joke about voyeuristically getting off on watching real, actual birds having sex.

        Fun facts about the world wide web:

        • It’s actually spelled In✞ernet

        • In the song “He’s got the whole world in His hands,” verse 87 applies to the World Wide Web (thus excluding onion sites).

        • Data packets are acceptable substitutes for communion wafer for robots.

          Do the data packets still transubstantiate into human flesh for the robots to feast upon?

      The overzealous censorship is possibly a feature not a bug. Done deliberately by the OP to ragebait people who find it disagreeable for a free engagement boost.

      The meme/trend wouldn’t be so ubiquitous right now if it weren’t so successful at its own self-propagation, because it’s being naturally selected for.

    I knew every comment in this thread was going to be about the self censorship and not the content of the meme. I feel very smart, ask me anything :-)

    I’ve taken many pictures of copulating insects and I always feel weird doing that. But for identification purposes it’s great…

    Stop censoring swear words, this is the internet, we’re adults (and children who have their internet time and usage monitored and protected appropriately), not babies.

    I didn’t even read whatever the post was supposed to be, the censorship jumped out and was so egregiously all over the place.

    Whoever made this seems to think we’re all weak little babies who can’t handle a naughty word. I’m sick of it.

    Fuck censorship.

    Birder here, you don’t see it much when you’re actively out birding. Around bird feeders is a different story in the spring time. Can’t help but seeing it then, no binoculars needed.
