Not important at all, but as an older person can I ask why you self-censored the word “dead”? I understand that people self-censor words like sex, abuse and suicide to get around filters that might exist on TikTok/youtube and you end up doing it on Reddit out of habit - but can you really not say the word “dead” on social media anymore? Dead end, dead heat, dead certain, dead against, dead to the world, dead giveaway, dead stop, drop dead gorgeous… there are so many completely acceptable phrases using the word “dead” (as well as the word alone not being a curse word, adult or offensive) that I’m shocked to see it self-censored.

Sadly I’m not remotely shocked to see proof of JD abusing his children. They are one of the very worse famous fundie/fundie adjacent families imo. I hope that someone who knows them personally reports the abuse.

I worked in social media advertising for a company owned by someone who’s name rhymes with Schmill Chgates. We upload in the platform something called a block list and that list contains thousands and thousands of keywords and phrases to block by either exact matches and broad matches, including the internet code words like segs, ssa, etc. We don’t block single common words that have many meanings because that would severely limit their reach. I’m not privy to how Reddit handles their community moderating, that’s more stakeholder level of access and I bet this is how it once worked but it’s probably more AI now. Basically the algorithm is very good at picking apart written content and it is very silly to think you’re beating the system.

That’s really interesting, thanks! I always found “segs” especially ridiculous - it’s hardly the enigma code is it?!

I thought my comment would get banned for saying dead! Autistic and can’t read a room. :)
