I never really understood why people self censor their comments at all. I can’t think of any major social media site that gives a shit. The YouTube algorithm cares, but that’s just for the videos themselves.
It’s very common on most social media for comments with swears to get shadow removed. Personally I often resort to non-ASCII lookalike characters instead, because fսсk those sһіttу censorship rules. But it’s also a lot easier to just self-censor.
Unfortunately it looks like the font lemmy-ui uses really fucked up the ‘h’ lookalike:
on my phone when I wrote that comment last night I thought I could just about see the difference between the lookalike ‘u’ and a real ‘u’ because it wasn’t the same height as the (real) ‘c’ next to it. But I may have been imagining that.
