    They’re being brainwashed by corpo social media to self-censor, a necessary 1984 step.

    Edit: Fuck.

      Is it brainwashing, or adapting to circumvent actual censorship? People say “unalive” because “kill” will hide your content from the algorithm, if it doesn’t remove it entirely.

        And yet here we all are, reading your comment. Maybe the algorithms on some platforms are that aggressive, but certainly not here.

        What is brainwashing if not forced adaptation to manufactured requirements?

            I would argue yes. Before we had clothes no one would have cared, but now most people think it’s weird to see other humans naked. I don’t know what you’d call that if not brainwashed.
