fun 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

@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.
