      What social networks are really requiring this censoring? I haven’t used Facebook, Twitter in years and never really got into the other corporate networks but I don’t remember any of them caring about this.

        Content creators live to serve the algorithms of their respective platforms and will do anything to be promoted by it. It’s thought that images with anything “offensive” in it will be ignored by the algorithm so content creators have started censoring themselves just in case. I’m not sure if there’s any hard evidence, but it’s not totally unfounded. YouTube announced they scan the audio of content and determine what level of monetization it’s allowed to have based on the severity of cursing in it.

        in years

        Yeah, depending on when you left “conventional social media”, you missed out all of that.

        That is the very same mechanism that, as of recent, censors/censored every mention and discussion of the Fediverse, alternative OSes, or any other way to fight back against these corporate forces. How dare people want to communicate freely and in their own way!?
