Hello, Im kind of new here and trying to get used to Lemmy and I was wondering about if this is true since I am considering donating on this site to support alternative projects but wanted to hear other users before doing so. That being said, what have been your experiences?

I have already heard things like "unalive" defended as youth slang rather than Orwellian doublespeak.

    I mean, on the one hand, no. It's not even slang, it's just a pathetic phenomenon where the users feel forced into using words they don't want to, even though they aren't being forced but they cowardishly still do it for fear of actual censorship. But then, on the other hand, my generation's youth slang includes things like douchecanoe and heckin and live, laugh, love, so I don't feel in a superior enough position to judge gen z on theirs.
