Consistently disgusted and horrified by the sheer 1984 Newspeak-esque language that is spreading across the internet, stemming from people trying to avoid platform censorship and de-monetization. Unalive, pew pew, putting asterisks or other symbols in the middle of a word. All of it's embarrassing, infantile, and frankly alarming. "OK, Boomer" me all you want, but there's a difference between slang and doublespeak, and I feel like the line gets crossed even harder every day.

@ldottxt@kind.social yes 100% and everyone doing this is a pathetic coward.

If I see someone using words like "unalive," I assume they are either a child, a mindless idiot, or satirizing. That's how Newspeak started, too.
