@FediTips And #AudioMo starts tomorrow. So great to have audio in the mix. But definitely understand the topic you’re posting.

@FediTips I saw an article last year lamenting that "the young people! they're so delicate! they can't say "dead," so they say "unalive"?!" And like, five minutes of research would tell you why, you dolt. Really seemed like it was just a big lie.

@FediTips
I find it somewhat disrespectful when people try to outwit other users' filters by mis-spelling common topics.
People filter things for good reason and its not up to anyone else to determine what someone else should be seeing.
Also, good use of hashtags (accurate, descriptive, but not too many) is really valuable as it allows both follows and blocks so people can curate their timelines properly.

@FediTips I honestly didn't even know that was a thing. Which means I'm (a) old and (b) spending the majority of my social media time on the Fediverse and I'm not unhappy about either of those things 😁

@FediTips considering "seggs" as a filter evasion always makes me pause for a moment since I was frequenting circles that sometimes replaces hard consonants with soft ones because it sounded funny.
For example "Gadse" instead of "Katze" (german for "cat") and I kinda took it for a much more widespread phenomenon than it probably was.

@FediTips agreeeeee, I mean agreed.

@FediTips language constantly evolves.
100 years from now how we spoke in the 19th and 20th centuries will be viewed as quaint and antiquated.

@FediTips

I usually add some common typos to my filters when I can.
Essentially its just a word blacklist

@FediTips also, if you want to use a nickname in your toot, remember to tag their names at the end so your mutuals can filter them out (i.e. some of my mutuals muted "Taylor Swift", so if I make a toot calling her Tay, Taytay or whatever, I tag her name properly at the end)

@FediTips it does stop creepybros searching for those keywords, although there's a lot fewer bots after you if you say "bitcoin cryptocurrency" here. let's see...

@FediTips I've taken to capitalizing "The Algorithm" in the sense of the manipulative sorts of algorithms referred to here. After all, people are referring to a very specific phenomenon with a very specific design goal when they say that, and not to algorithms generally, without which computers simply wouldn't function.

@FediTips The fact that some of the terms have gone from algospeak to full-on slang that people use is interesting, though.

@FediTips Weird spelling or the use of emoji may also impact screenreader use. I haven't tested out myself what "patr€on" sounds like, and while 🍏🍏 may be obvious to (some) sighted users, I'm not sure about anyone else. (Though honestly, it wasn't obvious to me without the context of the post.)
