This is a place to share greentexts and witness the confounding life of Anon. If you're new to the Greentext community, think of it as a sort of zoo with Anon as the main attraction.
Be warned:
- Anon is often crazy.
- Anon is often depressed.
- Anon frequently shares thoughts that are immature, offensive, or incomprehensible.
If you find yourself getting angry (or god forbid, agreeing) with something Anon has said, you might be doing it wrong.

I mean, I understand what you're saying and it is true here on lemmy, but it is absolutely not the case that you don't have to self-censor on the internet. I mean, you can choose to not to, but some systems will just never show your contribution to the conversation to anyone (ex. tiktok, Facebook, YouTube, etc). So people practice self-censorship to engage with those platforms and then it becomes a part of their online vocabulary.
So, you don't need to self-censor here on lemmy, but you also shouldn't give anyone flak for doing so.
Umm, ffs, if I used that right.
No I think their point stands. There are plenty of words to choose from, you simply don't need to say shit. Like it is quite literally that simple, use the word or don't.
i am free to express my self like i want to. i will type *hit all I want.
'Express yourself' through censorship. Brilliant stuff, folks.
you really got me good, i see the error of my ways. no i don't, false alarm, well, *hit.
