OsrsNeedsF2P,

Lemmy has a hard-coded swear word filter that replaces a number of words with removed. Not seeing words makes you less likely to use them yourself.

stoy, (edited )

That depends on the instance, on lemmy.zip I don’t have any filters to my knowledge.

ShittyKopper,

it used to have it hardcoded in software but I believe they made it an instance option a bit before the reddit exodus

Vlyn,

We do as far as I know. But more for actual slurs (like homophobic ones).

Generally I’m against filters, if someone writes a bad word I want to see it and then decide for myself if I report and/or block them.

You bitch ass motherfucker, most don’t

PhobosAnomaly,

Fuck knows, fuck you, and merry fucking Christmas.

In seriousness though: no idea. It’s nice though, not every sentence needs an f-bomb or a c-nuke. They’re just helpful and/or satisfying sometimes.

kernelle,

Literally loses it’s meaning and usefulness when overused as well

spacecowboy,

Just like literally!

indepndnt,

L*******y, or the L-word.

elbarto777,

What about a w-bomb?

AnalogyAddict,

Swearing is unimaginative and dull.

JigglySackles,

It’s literally just words. If it’s all someone uses, sure, it can be unimaginative and dull. But the implication in your blanket statement often then extends to the person which I would say is then wrong.

@giggling_engine@lemmy.world avatar

You’re unimaginative and dull… umm… bitch!

spittingimage,
@spittingimage@lemmy.world avatar

I don’t swear often because that makes it so much more satisfying when I do. It’s like rationing out my favourite snacks.

victorz,

Also it makes you sound much more intelligent when you can express yourself with other words. It forces you to utilize your vocabulary.

jj4211,

Well go fornicate with your own self, you inadequately intelligent segment of fecal matter.

victorz,

Not exactly what I had in mind. Other factors play a role as well, of course. 🙄

I try to ease up on the c word when I think I might be replying to an American because I’m aware it has pretty hideous connotations over there.

Dozzi92,
@Dozzi92@lemmy.world avatar

I’m an American and I throw cunt out often enough. I’m from Jersey though and we curse a bunch, and I also was in the Marines, where we cursed a lot. It’s where I picked up the phrase cunt hair, as in the unit of measurement.

Lnrdrople,

Ah, Finnish army also has (or at least had) that unit of measurement, “pillukarva”, literally pussy hair.

Dozzi92,
@Dozzi92@lemmy.world avatar

Is karva related to the Polish kurwa? I’m American and you guys are close to each other in my uneducated estimation, and so I feel like there’s gotta be something there right? And oldest profession is an old word.

Merry Christmas, and thanks for the new word.

hemko,

I doubt. Karva is just any hair, except hair on head (facial hair is still karva though it has also specific words too).
Animal hair can also be karva, but only when it’s “fallen off” such as dog or cat hair sticking your clothes

Lnrdrople,

It sounds similar, but karva is hair. Finnish and Polish are pretty far apart as far as European languages go. Merry Christmas!

@squid_slime@lemmy.world avatar

They’re all cunts anyway

AngryCommieKender,

Am American. Can confirm. Tons of cunts here.

Tja,

Oi!

Tier1BuildABear,
@Tier1BuildABear@lemmy.world avatar

You’re a cancer on society. JK I love the word cunt, but yeah some Americans are just as sensitive about a word as they are a titty

LeroyJenkins,

there’s a subset of women here that go absolutely berserk if you call them a cunt in certain contexts. besides them though, its just another curse word here. use it as you please. pretty fun to say sometimes. and if you say it with an aussie accent, you have a free pass to say it whenever you want

lugal,

the c word

communism?

RandomVideos,

This is lemmy so capitalism

LilB0kChoy,

Just use ankle for Americans, it’s less offensive to them and most of them are about three feet lower than a cunt anyways.

jj4211,

You can bet your fanny that we have a stronger connotation for that word here.

Aviandelight,
@Aviandelight@mander.xyz avatar

American here. I try to remember that other folks outside the US don’t have the same negative association we do with that word. It certainly helps ease the stigma I have for it when it’s said in good fun in a conversation. I still can’t bring myself to say it or write it often though.

It makes me laugh when some people give certain words magical powers. They are just fucking words for Christ’s sake.

victorz,

They’re not “magical”, they just have meaning and connotations.

@user224@lemmy.sdf.org avatar
Globulart,

But certain words DO have power, even if it’s just power attributed by others it’s still power, and it’s really naive to think they don’t.

cosmicrookie,
@cosmicrookie@lemmy.world avatar

Agreed. Words are what made us different than animals and words describing abstract ideas made us better than other primates. Words are maybe the strongest power we have

jj4211,

Given the way humanity works, words generally do and should have power (“profane” or otherwise). If they don’t, what’s the point?

On profanity, to me it’s a set of special words to break out for emphasis. If I just casually use them, then they lose value as emphasis. If those words were just as mundane as others, what would be the point of their existence?

victorz,

Agreed.

Lemminary, (edited )

I don’t focken feel like it, ya cunt.

superminerJG,

are you one of them australian fockers?

Sorgan71,

because constant swearing makes swears lose meaning

Detheroth,

But there is nothing more versatile and meaningful than a good “Fuck”.

“That fucking fucker fucked me over”. Doesn’t that phrase just warm the cockles of your heart?

Sorgan71,

That statement is now meaningless because that word is used so casually.

Scubus,

Step one: instead of “Ass,” say “Buns” Like “Kiss my buns” or “You’re a buns hole” Step two: instead of “Shit,” say “Poo” As in “Bull-poo,” “Poo-head,” and “This poo is cold” Step three: with bitch, drop the ‘T’ 'Cause “Bich” is Latin for generosity! Step four: don’t say “Fuck” anymore 'Cause “Fuck” is the worst word that you can say So just use the word, “M’kay!”

staindundies,

I couldn’t remember what this was from until the end!

IndiBrony,
@IndiBrony@lemmy.world avatar

Mmm’kay?

lemann,

Someone, somewhere in the fediverse, is going to see a bunch of “removed” and wonder what this comment says lol

ani,

Swearing is one of the most immoral atrocities. Parents who swear in front of their children should have their guardian status taken away, and the State military should take care of them to teach them morality. Overall, swearing should be illegal and punished with death penalty, including swearing on the Internet.

A_Random_Idiot,

genuinely cant tell if joke or serious.

“fuck off, fuck on, fuck off! The fucker!”

@Usernameblankface@lemmy.world avatar

Consensus? You’re asking the fediverse for a consensus?

supercriticalcheese,

Yeah, no idea what OP expected.

My two cents is that swearing with people you don’t know might lead to misunderstandings, so probably it would be best to keep that shit to a minimum.

No idea. I mean, can I say cunt in here? 🙂

Varyk,

You are frequenting an incredibly select number of communities.

Also, discussions tend to be more respectful here than on low bars like reddit, so crutches like swearing don’t come into play as much.

In my case, my f****** speech to text won’t f****** write out the c*** d*** c*** swear words, which I think is hilarious.

Mr_Blott, (edited )

I’d be having fuckin words with that speech to text program

SharkAttak,
@SharkAttak@kbin.social avatar

I think there's an option for that..

Varyk, (edited )

I assume there is, but the asterisks make me laugh every time, like when Aubrey plaza has her mouth blanked out every time she swears at Scott Pilgrim

DrBob, (edited )
@DrBob@lemmy.ca avatar

Check out the fucking cunt whose fancy fucking transcription software turns out to be a steaming pile of bullshit that won’t even pick up basic fucking words like cum guzzling knob goblin.

eta: Merry Fucking Christmas.

Varyk,

It’s a f****** feature, not a bug, you twat cock. Hm. Twat cock’s fine.
