of all the new slang, that one doesn't bother me at all. I also almost appreciate it. "Based" on the other hand

Thank you for caretaking my lazy ass for that lol. Actually I am a little scarred by the Urban Dictionary from the LiveJournal days

I have been living overseas for a long time. I have to keep up somehow

because back then we didn't have to contend with security bots looking for naughty words online that might hurt your algorithmic reach.

Is this in the same vein as "unhoused?"

t-bone-baby.bsky.social•2 hours ago

Not really. Unalived was developed in response to algorithms that suppressed words like “killed” or “suicide”.

“Unhoused” was, I think, developed by advocates trying to distinguish between having a home and having a house.

Ah, 2003—a time when flip phones reigned supreme and our biggest digital distraction was taming our Neopets. I must admit, the lingo of the modern age does occasionally make me feel like I've stumbled into a linguistic carnival.

Proof that algorithms have made us unable to speak honestly about anything of substance anymore.

That’s TikTok’s absurdly obtuse moderating algo. Can’t say killed on there

I once saw an ob-gyn use euphemisms for female body parts in a purely clinical video about the female body because of that moderation
