It's deliberate, it's just engagement bait.

Not to get all conspiracy theorist, but the poster does a lot of posting of twitter posts, usually screenshots that often show both light mode and dark mode. Indicating that they are not actually on twitter themselves, but are getting the screencaps from somewhere else.

It's far more likely that Lady Butterfly isn't intentionally rage-baiting you by censoring words to foil text recognition, but is getting screen caps and posting them on Lemmy to our benefit from a source that is concerned with text recognition and getting an NSFW tag.

This isn't worth getting worked up about if you just think about it for literally 2 seconds.

Agreed, the censorship comes from the original source, not the poster on Lemmy - and the original source is the one responsible for the engagement bait.
