Yeah that’s pretty fucking bad. Fucking hate how the corpos have been censoring via autocorrect. And in particular how mundane of shit gets censored. Talking about questioning your sexuality‽ Talking about harmless drugs‽ Insulting Australia‽ We shouldn’t be “protected” from “accidentally” saying such things.
I fucking hate the policing of words by admin dickheads and corporate censorship algorithms online. Policing other people’s language flies in the face of every freedom and right people have fought and died for. Also the internet is the easiest place to ignore people, give people who care the tools to filter their feeds and comments instead of blanket banning everyone, cause it might upset some vocal minority
Limits like this should have opt-out. People deserve to call out those pigs freely and with proper spelling!
Who the fuck do these people think they are, deciding what we can and cannot say, what we can and cannot express?
I never really understood the whole “No really, we HAVE to guillotine them all” attitude of the 18th century French until I met tech bros.
Just wait until you read about The Terror! You’ll discover the vast majority of victims were just regular people. The odds are much better that you will be guillotined than an Apple tech bro. That neighbor that you pissed off 8 years ago will see to it.

Of all the most offensive words and slurs, Apple made sure to also block the phrase “iMessage isn’t working”
Corps aren’t your friend. Apple is just as shitty as everyone else, they’re just better at hiding it.
what the fuck
I know I’m naive about some things, but this is just… the fuck. changing the word before the most recently swiped word, because together it forms a blocked phrase? that’s just fucked up.
I’m ashamed to say that I truly never thought about the keyboard no longer being safe from interference.
like okay I get that it won’t suggest harmful phrases, sure, maybe I can accept that. but to retroactively edit your inputs… that’s just fucked up.
pigs out here catching strays
I wish all phone keyboards had a easy toggle to turn off all “smart autocorrect” features so it types exactly what you entered with no changes when you want to
That’s already how it normally works if you just press buttons. This is for swipe-typing, which has to be “smart” because you swipe across many buttons and it has to figure out what you meant.
Even when you type one character at a time most keyboards including apples try to autocorrect what you type, especially if you use more than one language or use uncommon slang
Hmm, ok. I use Gboard and it doesn’t do that.
It’s probably good if my phone doesn’t call my mother a cunt while telling her I’m bringing the cocaine by default, but I should be able to toggle that.
just give it to me, and i’ll bring that cunt her blow
I used to use swiftkey keyboard (Microsoft product, I know it was sinful), but it would automatically capitalize god, christianity, and christmas no matter how many times I corrected (or un-corrected?) it. I also found its vocabulary to be lacking past a certain point.
On 4th of June, 1989, in Tiananmen square, Beijing, nothing particularly interesting happened.
I feel like this should be regulated. We should not let private interests arbitrarily mold our speech just because that speech is being mediated by platforms that they create.
Edit: For the record, I’m not making a free speech absolutist argument.
Mold our speech, tell us what we can or can’t watch on the internet, and teach the general public to self-censor.
I hate this modern day bullshit. Just let me watch the pron I want, say the shit I want, when I want.
Double plus good point.
Your word thinking is double plus bad
Apple autocorrect and suggestions are pure shit. Especially on the touch swipe keyboard; it will just straight up make up words
I think it got even worse when they went to “AI” (Aborted Intelligence) in 2024, and they just have too much hubris to fix it
Tech billionaires/CEOs are all weird control onsessed perverts and sickos trying to modify users beliefs rather than making good technology that serves users.
What kind of sick fucks spend their time on this 1984 bullshit. The fuckwits.
They’re trying to outlaw/make it as hard as possible to access porn and it’s fucking ridiculous.
It shouldn’t be like that, but go into the dictionary and autocorrect whatever it tries to change it from, or make an abbreviation etc. I forced mine to stop saying “duck” instead of the fuck word.
the fuck word.
Oh? And which word is that, exactly? hehehe
Motorola is releasing a phone with graphene OS… That’s all I’m saying.
Please let Fairphone and Graphene have a kid.
