They killed them. Unalived sounds stupid.
Ah ah, this is Lemmy.world
Agreed, fuck this Newspeak nonsense. People kill, die, fuck, shit, piss, go off half-cocked making asses of themselves, etc.
I'm all for censoring pejoratives that are inherently derogatory on the basis of sex, gender, nationality or racial characteristics, but I am deeply critical of shit like 'unaliving'. I am open to someone correcting this view, but it's something that started with large corporations afraid for their bottom line. IMO it has no place in the Fediverse.
steps off of soapbox, curious if the ban hammer cometh
Killed triggers the moderation and censorship tools more quickly. This way some idiot bootlicker has to "get offended" and manually report it, making it take longer for the admins to notice and take it down.
If your lemmy instance cares about that sort of language, please join a new one. The only instances I'm aware of that care about harsh language are .ml (censors bitch and some other curses) and .world (regularly deletes stuff celebrating the UHC CEO's murder).
Otherwise, this is lemmy, you aren't on some site that cares about looking friendly and soft for advertisers. Please don't bring that self censorship shit here.
