Comment on Lawks
ickplant@lemmy.world 16 hours agoSo 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.

I’m not getting mad, and it doesn’t seem like anyone calling the meme out for being censored is mad either. The top comment in this thread used the “fuck” word in an excessive, tongue-in-cheek manner to poke fun at the censored meme, not to express real anger.
The one getting mad seems to be you. We’re pointing out that we don’t want to see corporate censorship on our corporate-free platform, which seems pretty reasonable. But you’re getting mad at people calling out that corporate censorship.
You may be right that it doesn’t really matter, and posting these shitty memes does more good than harm for engagement on the platform. But I don’t think you can honestly argue that posting uncensored memes, or taking a couple minutes to toss the image in paint and decensor it is some monumental, unreasonably difficult task that the people who… checks notes spend all day scrolling social media for memes can’t possibly take on.
