Certain platforms screen for a list of trigger words and reduce visibility in their algorithms, which leads to people self-censoring and/or using weird euphemisms like "unalive". I think it's stupid and will usually reverse image search to find an uncensored version before posting to Lemmy, but I didn't have any luck with this one.

(I do also think it has become a trend for people to self-censor even when they don't have to because they're so used to seeing it that way on tiktok or whatever)
