The Tik-Tok inspired use of unalive has seeped beyond the boundaries of the app. It drives me crazy when people say that in real life. The dystopian vibes really start to hit when censored online jargon bleeds into IRL. For the sake of pushing past it - it makes me want to kill myself.
My solution is to block every individual who ever posts a meme censoring words. I know they didn’t create it, I don’t care, willingly censoring benign words (and sharing this behavior like it’s acceptable) is my line in the sand for dumb Internet bullshit and I will die on that hill. We must not reshape our language for this nonsense.
Downside is I’ll be having a quieter Lemmy experience soon, lol

It’s pretty florking stupid and makes me want to unalive myself.

It does give off Ministry of Truth vibes from 1984…
I’m sure you’re right. I was thinking “not allowed” but yeah those fucked algorithms are behind everything now. Agree, fuck those three groups.
