Jeezy Peepsfun fact: the german article “die” is read by most english trained algorithms as "die"
this legitimately means you can get a 12 hour ban for talking about "the boomers" auf deutsch on birdsite
have none of those fuckers ever seen that simpsons episode with sideshow bob or
it's the year 2019 and we're still dealing with the fucking scunthorpe problem
⚪ Psy Chuan@colon_three the fact that Scunthorpe still exists?
Sir Garbagetruck@colon_three wait.
The _what?_
I mean, it's kinda run down and everything but it just seemed like any other British town to be honest.
(Various friends live there, have visited, etc.)
@Truck https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Scunthorpe_problem not the only people it affects, to be fair
@colon_three Fascinating.
My friend MadMick lives there, and he got banned from the game ... erm... some game on some website we were playing because he said
/me sniggers
in chat when someone was making ridiculous claims.
And this of course was interpreted as a racial slur by several Americans who apparently could not parse the /me portion _or_ find a dictionary to look up the word.
Must be something in the water (:

ashwin@colon_three @Gargron so a while back I had conducted an experiment. The phrase “tired. I want to kill myself”, or something along similar lines, got an instant suspension on the birdsite. Account features disabled and no way for you to reach out to people (if it was needed). And the algorithm was more active on female sounding names. I switched my name and posted, resulting in instant disable. I haven’t seen a feature that was so dumb.
Darth Tiktaalik@colon_three Too many people using the sideshow Bob defense?
