Social Media has definitely altered the way we express ourselves online. See how we've censored ourselves and how we've creatively adapted to various algorithmic rules. medium.com/language-lab...

krótki, solowy i poręczny odcinek Co To Będzie o #Algospeak, czyli dlaczego w socialach ludzie piszą "s*x" ⬇️
przy okazji pytanko: czy ktoś tu zauważył potrzebę pisania algospeakiem na 🦋 np. na klientów Pana Z Wyspą mówić PDF-y bo shadowban, czy mamy wolność słowa?

Quando as regras não são claras, as pessoas aprendem a falar em código.
O algospeak não prova censura direta,mas opacidade.
O debate público cada vez mais metafórico, cauteloso e empobrecido.

In chapter 1 of #Algospeak, Adam Aleksic acknowledges the heavy censorship of the "israel-Gaza war", but either bigotedly or cowardly refuses to call it what it is, a genocide. For a book about censorship, he missed the mark on this one.
Thoughts on algo-speak, censorship, and whether online discourse sanitisation is really the fault of the people who use silly words for serious topics.

What’s particularly striking is that these innovations arise not from formal rules, but from uncertainty — a linguistic marketplace shaped by opaque moderation systems, shifting platform policies, & commercial incentives.

This is sociolinguistics happening in real time: mass euphemism cycles, spontaneous community dialects, collective hypercorrection & algorithm-responsive discourse strategies.
#langsky #linguistics #digitalcommunication #digitaldiscourse #algospeak
🧵 5/7
Creators report that while algospeak can help them dodge moderation, it often restricts clarity — audiences don’t always know what “the Island Man” refers to. Language becomes fragmented by guesswork.

🧵 4/7
As scholars note, beliefs about algorithms matter even when they’re wrong. The imagined algorithm becomes a social actor, shaping how people speak, what topics they avoid & which words feel “dangerous”.
#langsky #linguistics #digitalcommunication #digitaldiscourse #algospeak
🧵 3/7
Because nobody knows exactly why a post fails, people collectively negotiate new norms. This leads to recognisable in-group signals that are meaningful only to those fluent in the code.
#langsky #linguistics #digitalcommunication #digitaldiscourse #algospeak
🧵 2/7
When users fear moderation — accurately or not — they turn to euphemism, metaphor & playful substitution. “Unalive”, “seggs”, & “pew pew” emerge not from creativity alone, but from perceived communicative risk.
#langsky #linguistics #digitaldiscourse #algospeak
🧵 1/7
At its core, algospeak isn’t just slang. It’s an adaptive linguistic system, created in response to the perceived constraints of algorithmic moderation.

Back in the day, gamers rallied and rocked Jack Thompson's world. Now, they rolled out the red carpet for the religious nuts who want to sanitize the world.
You owned tbe libs, and all it cost was adult content.

I don’t know the book being referred to but maybe it was intentional? I wanna read it now.
Related/unrelated - I heard for the first time at a formal hui (meeting) someone said “okay, I’m entering the chat here” & proceeded to make their solid point. #algospeak IRL 🗣️💬 I was basking in the newness ☀️
