Lazily crossing out bits of normal words in a clear bid to increase comment count/engagement metrics to boost a post is on a sharp and marked rise on Lemmy. Do we need to have a more active hand in removing these posts to keep discussions from getting polluted? It’s really quite tedious to see it happening so often.
I suspect the meme has likely been pulled from elsewhere else (looking at you, Meta) and posted as-is with specific words remaining partially censored because of the Zucc. It’s stupid, but the meme might not exist in another format.
I think the unnecessary censorship is silly in most cases, but I think the linked example is actually meant to be part of the meme over all.
I just picked an arbitrary example, but it is only one of maaaaaany that do this.
