Noticed not many people use curse words.

So… why the fuck not?

Swearing is unimaginative and dull.

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.

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.

I’m going to have to assume you meant to add something like “/s” because it sounds fucked up without that…

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.

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

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.

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

Because control freak dickheads think you’re being ‘uncivil’. Fuck them and the cat they rode in on.

There’s not really much need for swearing in most comments/posts I come across on lemmy/kbin, so I’m not surprised it’s uncommon.

I don’t see a problem with bringing out the occasional swear word for particular emphasis or humour, but when someone can’t write regular posts/comments without cursing it’s pretty likely they’re just a kid trying to be edgy on the internet.
