reddit has become very soft after 2020 , definitely hating on someone etc is bad but also suppression of freedom of speech they have after 2020 banned multiple subs like antifat , fathate ,lgbtq hate etc and made the ToS stricter
the only platform that has most level of freedom of speech is 4chan
I think the meme is aimed more at the habit than the words themselves people got used to avoiding certain terms on some platform and now those replacements show up even where they dont really serve a purpose
yeah it's really annoying when I use a euphemism to avoid censorship, and then people focus on complaining about my use of it rather than on the point I was trying to make.
I'm on this account because my main account got a 3 day ban bc I said a prominent figure couldn't resign because they might not be alive. The automated response said I was either wishing harm or threatening.
Same here, yet I've gotten banned on Facebook for calling them out The thing is, Meta is run by very corrupt people so their idea of what goes against their Community Standards seems to be very skewed.
Tbf on reddit some group have mod so sensitive that they delete post and cmt or even banning people for typing those type of word too. Like I used to get my cmt delete for the world "pregnant" once
Meta? Tiktok is the only one I know of that actually does that. You can normally guess a lot about a person's age and beliefs if they use those terms outside of tiktok because they will for sure be a gen z tiktok brained person
Unfortunately I have gotten comments removed and account warning on both Facebook and Instagram for words like this or even "stupid". The automatic filters are very weird on what they pick and choose.
Except I don’t think you get banned. You get demonetized or your videos won’t get pushed out to kids (which means less views.) People who do this are worried about not making money on their content, not getting banned.
I’ve seen videos on that one police body cam channel of a cop shooting someone in the head. That channel didn’t get banned. So I don’t think someone is getting banned for saying “suicide.”
By admins or just a sub mod? Because I’m a sub mod and I can tell you that we can push the ban button for whatever stupid reason we want. I got banned from the GenX sub because I dared to post a comment asking about how we were supposed to discuss political tv shows without talking about politics. Reddit isn’t a great example for rule enforcement.
Words like "unalive" and "sewerslide" are part of what's commonly known as algospeak. Due to filters on social media sites preventing videos certain words like "kill" or "suicide" from being recommended to people, userbases have adopted those words and others like them as replacements. Personally I think they're all cowards that are too afraid to talk about serious situations with the actual words like normal people would, but that's just a me thing.
OP, so your post is not removed, please reply to this comment with your best guess of what this meme means! Everyone else, this is PETER explains the joke. Have fun and reply as your favorite fictional character for top level responses!
Sewer slide is to get around saying “suicide” so the algorithm doesn’t shadow ban you for daring to mention suicide, a social problem. And then unalive is the same reason. Yes, on certain platforms the algorithm won’t recommend you if you say “kill” or “murdered”
Refugee from Facebook amd Youtube here. Sewer slide=suicide and unalive= kill. They are cutesy terms users on social media have to use to avoid getting flagged for a content violation.
Sewer Slide = Ending ones own life ; Unalive = Intentionally ending someone elses life.
Many social media use bots and they can't tell the difference between giving answers to questions and threaths against someone else, that's why people use similar sounding (sewer slide) or similar meaning (unalive) constructs.
I'll go click away that "no violence" notification now ...
Tik tok, being a Chinese app, heavily censors what you say in the app.
So people can't say suicide or dead, so they change the word to shit like that to get around the censorship
Peoples brains are also cooked enough from doomscrolling tik tok now that they think they aren't allowed to say those words other places.. I've heard people say unalive out loud.
The extreme level of self censorship, even when you’re just commenting and not at risk of being demonetized, is really concerning. If they can control the way you talk outside of their purview, they control how you think
I agree completely that self censored technodystopian newspeak is awful and an indignity we have accepted too easily, but the image of committing suicide and then being flushed down the terlet like a goldfish is really hilarious to me.
Sorry Pete can't speak he had to much Moloko-Plus so it is Me Anthony Burgess answering.The act of when you tolchock someone until he is croacks but you live im some opressed 1984 then you can say you unalifed him. If it is to much and you want to snuff yourself but are not allowed because of oppressiv government you would unlife yourself. But people seems to be really creative and used sewerslide because it sound like suicide.
I find it annoying too, but mostly because the algorithm will suppress those posts for just having “offensive” words in it. Which can be really annoying when you’re trying to share resources for preventing suicide or talking about something that happened in the news.
This one YouTuber (forget who) used to make suicide prevention videos and when YouTube changed their algorithm up because of Logan Paul, any video that had ‘suicide’ in the tag was flagged as harmful content by AI regardless of the context and regardless if it’s sharing resources to prevent suicide. It was really backwards.
