Speaking about free speech, I’ve been noticing something on YouTube that bothers me a lot.

Why are the words rape and suicide being censored so hard? Because they’re “triggering”? Some things should be triggering.

A rape survivor should be able to talk about what happened to them without sugar coating it or saying “r-worded” in its’ place. She wasn’t “r-worded”, she was raped and has every right to talk about it and use the word that defines her experience.

Same thing with people who have lost loved ones to suicide…they aren’t allowed to talk about what happened without using the termed “unalived” him/herself.

They aren’t protecting anyone by censoring these words, they’re shaming the victims by saying their experience is something that cannot be expressed publicly.

Censoring the word "suicide" was originally the discussion topic that Bluesky staff picked as an excuse to block me from their main accounts and start promoting more targeted harassment against me on there (long before they banned me)

They openly said they would censor anyone that mentioned suicide on Bluesky in any context, and I kept replying in the thread where they announced the policy change, standing up for suicidal people who need to talk to others. This was in the past few years where I've been worrying about Digit every day, so this blatant targeting and ostracization of suicidal people makes me beyond angry

A staff member in the thread called pfrazee blocked me and it snowballed from there

I ended up changing my username to "blocked by pfrazee" so anyone asking about it would get a reminder of the day this all started and what topic was being discussed

Sadly #nostr is only like 10% better than Bluesky and even the npub I'm replying to has joined in with the targeted harassment against me here on nostr by muting me
