Ah ah, this is Lemmy.world

Agreed, fuck this Newspeak nonsense. People kill, die, fuck, shit, piss, go off half-cocked making asses of themselves, etc.

I'm all for censoring pejoratives that are inherently derogatory on the basis of sex, gender, nationality or racial characteristics, but I am deeply critical of shit like 'unaliving'. I am open to someone correcting this view, but it's something that started with large corporations afraid for their bottom line. IMO it has no place in the Fediverse.

steps off of soapbox, curious if the ban hammer cometh

Killed triggers the moderation and censorship tools more quickly. This way some idiot bootlicker has to "get offended" and manually report it, making it take longer for the admins to notice and take it down.
