  • But also, why is everybody so offended by censored words here? I don’t get it.

    The biggest reason seems to be that it will evade filters, which people set up very intentionally and specifically to keep these Fedi-spaces a safe place for them mentally.

    So, for example, someone comes here to get away from the ‘real world’ and news and whatnot, may have a filter that blocks anything with the word “Trump”, or one I actually see censored a lot more often, “Israel”

    Then someone makes a post about “Isr*el is so bad” and it sails right through their filters.

    PS: I can’t believe they called that app Valetudo (I get it - Hygieia). Just…that word has a very different meaning in many folks brains

    It’s the robot vs the dirt, a fight to the death, or at least unconsciousness or a hospital trip! 🤣

    I feel like I remember hearing about an event or series called Valetudo in like, the middle east or something, back in the 90s around like, UFC 1-3 timeframe. Where like, Rickson did the majority of his fighting as far as I understood/remember. I didn’t know until today it was a catchall term! I remember my buddy telling me about how absolutely legendary Rickson was and how it was such a shame all we had in the UFC was Royce, lol. I think I only ever saw him fight once, in Pride I’d guess… likely against Sakuraba (but I’m guessing and scraping the memory banks hard here.)

    Edit: AH, just looked it up, it was Takada … a judo expert iirc … yes, some of the cobwebs shaking loose now! And the “Vale Tudo” I’d heard about was a thing, but it wasn’t in the middle east, it was Japan it seems! Probably confusing it with something else that was in the middle east.
