    I’ve seen younger folks begin to overly censor stuff because platforms like TikTok supposedly limit your account’s reach for seemingly minor offenses. This is why you see stuff like “seggs” and “unalive” so often. No idea how often it happens, but that’s just my thoughts on it.

      You’re likely right. I checked and it looks to have been both created and edited in 2021. Do you have any clue whether the practice you described was widespread at the time? (I know less than nothing about tiktok)

        It’s been going on for as long as I can remember on TikTok and I started using TikTok during the lockdowns in 2020, so that checks out.

      If those services are censoring them, why not just switch to a different service? I don’t get it really
