        I mean even in corpo internet lingo where obscenity is censored… Panicked? Is panicked now negative enough of a word to deserve censorship? It’s a crazy web out there

          It probably triggered someone, somewhere, somehow, sometime and someone flagged it as an issue.

          Its probably to avoid semantic analysis marking it as distressing or negative and deranking it for the target audience.

          Lowest common denominator strikes again with ludicrously unnecessary censorship. Not even curse words or things like “suicide” anymore, just whatever drifts past their sights.

      Engagement bait for other platforms that are engagement algorithm driven fishing for this exact kind of comment.

          Well that one mark ended up making 13 of the comments in just this comment chain alone. 14 including this one I’m making, on a post with 50 comments on it, over 20% of them. If this were any other massive platform like reddit or Instagram or Facebook, this level of engagement would drive algorithms extremely effectively.

      It’s like yelling “fire” in a crowded theater. Say “panic” on social media and suddenly everyone starts looting.
