I think it's funny that some Lemmy users get upset about censoring. In real life I try not to swear much, so that when I do it's more impactful. Also censoring the word still gets the meaning across.

Personally I just hate the brain disruption of partially censored things. Whole words, sure, my brain smoothly fills it in, but asterisks in the middle of words fuck with it. I don't have any problem with someone not wanting to swear, but the concept of someone not wanting to swear and then doing so anyways and half assedly covering it is bizarre to me

my brain just turns asterisks into glottal stops

I'm very much of the opinion of "shit or get off the pot". If you don't want to swear, cool, don't. Censoring it reminds me of all the exhausting nonsense and theatre related to "think of the children" (and more recently, "think of the advertisers"). None of that stuff does a lick of good for anyone, except perhaps the swindlers pushing it.
