      I think cooked people started to believe certain words like covid and racist were getting their posts less exposure on social media, so they started censoring it like this (even though its embedded in the image) and now it seems to be a trend for people who think they’re leaking some ground breaking anti government data, but they’re just talking about chemtrails or Bill gates.

        I’ve tried to talk about the bad things Trump has done/said, in the comments sections on YouTube. If I don’t censor myself, by misspelling words or leaving out keywords, nobody can see my comment, even me. I have to walk around the issue and point to places where the information actually is, in order for anyone to see it. That results in most people thinking I’m wrong, but it’s either that, or do nothing. It could be the YouTube channel, but some of them are left leaning channels and it still happens

          exactly this lol. lots of people always come into this convo talking tough shit because they simply just don’t go to places where shadow banning happens. not every site is like lemmy/reddit with little to no algorithm manipulation based on keywords. it’s honestly embarrassing when people refuse to accept that and act all uppity.

      this discussion invariably happens at some point sigh xD

      some sites have ocr and will take down or algorithm limit your posts if you have certain language. i got this from one such site. i was NOT about to go to twitter and give them traffic to find the original. sorry not sorry lol.
