Noticed not many people use curse words.

So… why the fuck not?

      It’s literally just words. If it’s all someone uses, sure, it can be unimaginative and dull. But the implication in your blanket statement often then extends to the person which I would say is then wrong.

    You may often be understood quite well even without using harsh language in every fucking sentence.

    Infact, refraining from using harsh language increases the impact of it when you actually need to for some god damned reason.

    So please, consider using some bloody restraint, and only curse when you actually shit ass need to.

    I hope that this comment has cleared it up for you, have a lovely new year!

    Fuck knows, fuck you, and merry fucking Christmas.

    In seriousness though: no idea. It’s nice though, not every sentence needs an f-bomb or a c-nuke. They’re just helpful and/or satisfying sometimes.

      But there is nothing more versatile and meaningful than a good “Fuck”.

      “That fucking fucker fucked me over”. Doesn’t that phrase just warm the cockles of your heart?

    You are frequenting an incredibly select number of communities.

    Also, discussions tend to be more respectful here than on low bars like reddit, so crutches like swearing don’t come into play as much.

    In my case, my f****** speech to text won’t f****** write out the c*** d*** c*** swear words, which I think is hilarious.

        I assume there is, but the asterisks make me laugh every time, like when Aubrey plaza has her mouth blanked out every time she swears at Scott Pilgrim

      Check out the fucking cunt whose fancy fucking transcription software turns out to be a steaming pile of bullshit that won’t even pick up basic fucking words like cum guzzling knob goblin.

      eta: Merry Fucking Christmas.

    Lemmy has a hard-coded swear word filter that replaces a number of words with removed. Not seeing words makes you less likely to use them yourself.

      That depends on the instance, on lemmy.zip I don’t have any filters to my knowledge.

        it used to have it hardcoded in software but I believe they made it an instance option a bit before the reddit exodus

        We do as far as I know. But more for actual slurs (like homophobic ones).

        Generally I’m against filters, if someone writes a bad word I want to see it and then decide for myself if I report and/or block them.

    for myself I try not to cuss out other people but if I see someome doing something eggregious egregious or I do something stupid then I’ll swear at them or myself

    otherwise I try not to swear too much
    ymmv

    hope everyone has a fucking fantastic holiday tho!🤗

    Meh, I save my swears for special occasions, for when I want to make it clear shit is real.

    Otherwise metaphors more plum than the violets of Persia do me fine. (That’s actually a simile.)

    Swearing is one of the most immoral atrocities. Parents who swear in front of their children should have their guardian status taken away, and the State military should take care of them to teach them morality. Overall, swearing should be illegal and punished with death penalty, including swearing on the Internet.

    I don’t swear often because that makes it so much more satisfying when I do. It’s like rationing out my favourite snacks.
