@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.

It's a good point but I don't think most people are doing it to fool human filters?

I think they've just picked up these habits from commercial platforms that use automated moderation that suppresses anything mentioning specific words.

@FediTips
Maybe. Habits they don't need here though, especially when they do indeed fool human filters.

@FediTips @MostlyTato This, 100%. I was fairly active on Twitter before it sold out, and you *had* to twist your words like that if you didn't want their algorithms limiting your reach, suspending you, or outright banning you. Basically all of the popular commercial platforms are like this nowadays. And once you get used to typing like that it can be hard to break the habit.
