Welcome
We're not The Onion! Not affiliated with them in any way! Not operated by them in any way! All the news here is real!
The Rules
Posts must be:
- Links to news stories from...
- ...credible sources, with...
- ...their original headlines, that...
- ...would make people who see the headline think, “That has got to be a story from The Onion, America’s Finest News Source.”
Please also avoid duplicates.
Comments and post content must abide by the server rules for Lemmy.world and generally abstain from trollish, bigoted, or otherwise disruptive behavior that makes this community less fun for everyone.
And that’s basically it!

This isn't tik tok you can say Motherfucking.
In fact I'd prefer if people just used the actual cuss words. Self-censoring is such a bullshit. Social media is a plague on our species.
I need more things to have a block censorship option. Like streaming music services often have a ‘block explicit’ option. I want a ‘block censored’ option.
YouTube has a thing where if you're on data and not wifi, they will not let you watch explicit videos even if you're signed into your account, which may or may not be old enough to drink, itself.
You have to do a thing in your phone's connection settings and hook it to a specific DNS (like "dns.adguard.com", which allows you to play mobile games while connected to a network without any ads)
Why are you lying online?
It is a plague but not because you can't swear.
man I made an account just to go troll idiots and holy shit is their moderation ever so fucking bad
people can say "I would drive over them" about people crossing a bridge, but if you say, "I'd drive over you tbh", nope, not okay.
not to mention the dumb automatic word filters regardless of context
Ploppers
do we have to have this same argument every godsdamned thread?
Argument? Nah. Just trying to help someone who seems to need help in forcefully expressing themselves.
just, i'm tired boss. no one likes being the language police, no one like being language policed. just let people talk.
