I have noticed posts and comments mocking posts which have a mild curse word crossed out or ‘censored’ in some way. Yes, it was here before, but now I feel it increased. This post was my final straw: https://lemmy.world/post/34998482

I am noticing similar instances on the rise, has something happened? A law was passed somewhere?

I agree that it was here at least since modern broadcast media, afaik. But now it feels driven more by something else. Maybe I am just getting old and cynical. Or paranoid as the other commenter suggested. Anyway, thanks for the rundown
