    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.
