Nope. Still fully visible down there.

I'm being self-censored. Working for a very large corp that has a long list of topics I'm not supposed to discuss, and I'm pretty good at not talking about them under my real name. I'm quite certain that my anonymous comments may also be traced back to me, but the HR doesn't care about those.

[–] VinesNFluff@pawb.social 7 points 2 weeks ago

Yeah. I looked down at my wang and there was just a black bar.

I called some racists on TikTok "gross" and that was removed. I'm not paraphrasing. That's the whole comment right there. Gross.

[–] jewbacca117@lemmy.world 6 points 2 weeks ago

What [EXPLETIVE DELETED] are you talking about?

[–] Almacca@aussie.zone 6 points 2 weeks ago* (last edited 2 weeks ago)

I censor myself quite frequently, although perhaps not frequently enough. It's the only kind I'll accept.

[–] remotelove@lemmy.ca 5 points 2 weeks ago

Maybe? I keep getting "Rule 1" and "Rule 2" errors when I post something on .ml. I was going to create an issue on GitHub about it, but I just haven't gotten around to it.

[–] Opinionhaver@feddit.uk 5 points 2 weeks ago

Not since I stopped posting on .ml communities

[–] spittingimage@lemmy.world 5 points 2 weeks ago (1 children)
[–] Libb@jlai.lu 2 points 2 weeks ago

if you self-censor, probably ;)

[–] Hermit_Lailoken@lemmy.world 4 points 2 weeks ago

Nope, only limited by stupid people.

[–] stoy@lemmy.zip 4 points 2 weeks ago* (last edited 2 weeks ago)

Absolutely, 100% not.

[–] SassyRamen@lemmy.world 4 points 2 weeks ago

Guys.. it's pixelated 😨

I tried to open the original url for this, and wtf is that Anubis plugin doing? It took so long to load that I decided it wasn't worth the time to wait for it.

[–] n3m37h@sh.itjust.works 3 points 2 weeks ago (1 children)

Yep, a few instances have banned me for stupid jokes. Like US NEWS and Politics. Some mods are fucking insane

[–] Hermit_Lailoken@lemmy.world 2 points 2 weeks ago* (last edited 2 weeks ago) (1 children)

Are you sure it is the mods? Think about it, what is the common denominator?

[–] n3m37h@sh.itjust.works 1 points 2 weeks ago (1 children)

Yes, I was literally banned for a joke

[–] Hermit_Lailoken@lemmy.world 2 points 2 weeks ago (1 children)
[–] Sixtyforce@sh.itjust.works 3 points 2 weeks ago* (last edited 2 weeks ago) (2 children)

One ban is the notorious news sdf troll mod, edit: but otherwise they're needlessly inflammatory yeah I looked farther down.

[–] n3m37h@sh.itjust.works 1 points 2 weeks ago

Post here was " 'Golden Share' in US Steel gives Trump Extraordinary Control " Talking about Japan giving up shares to the US

My comment

Ah american hands on a company, its fucked now.

Is this ban worthy?? AITAH??

[–] n3m37h@sh.itjust.works 1 points 2 weeks ago

There we go, yeah, gotta love being banned for nothing

[–] toomanypancakes@lemmy.world 2 points 2 weeks ago

Nah, that's less fun

[–] remon@ani.social 2 points 2 weeks ago

Only due to self-censorship.

[–] Acamon@lemmy.world 2 points 2 weeks ago
[–] GreenKnight23@lemmy.world 1 points 2 weeks ago (1 children)

if the comment below this one is, then yes.

[–] Ledericas@lemm.ee 1 points 2 weeks ago* (last edited 2 weeks ago)

in Reddit and youtube, especially if you commenting against parasocial fans or right wingers of that specific channel.

reddit has the most oppressive censorship(which includes bans, and gatekeeping) of any social media site.

[–] Clbull@lemmy.world 1 points 2 weeks ago

On Reddit, yes. To the point where I've actually had to self-censor a lot of my comments and tip-toe around certain topics to avoid my comments being nuked from orbit by Automoderator.

Lemmy? Not really.

[–] TheLeadenSea@sh.itjust.works 1 points 2 weeks ago (1 children)

There are certain topics I have to self censor about on Lemmy for fear of moderator action.

[–] Fukushimaguy@50501.chat 1 points 2 weeks ago

Lemmy is supposed to be anti censorship bro I got pushed to 4chan from getting censored literally anywhere else. All I wanted was to talk about mario and lugia

[–] LifeInMultipleChoice@lemmy.world 1 points 2 weeks ago* (last edited 2 weeks ago) (1 children)

Yeah this site keeps blocking my password when I type it: 1LoveCalzones!

Edit:.... Oops guess not

It says banned 😭

[–] BenLeMan@lemmy.world 0 points 2 weeks ago (1 children)

Yes but only on YouTube and for the most harmless of comments.

[–] BenLeMan@lemmy.world 1 points 2 weeks ago

Probably downvoted by the same people that would downvote my above comment. 🙄
