Gonna trigger half of Lemmy with this one, but I'm heckin annoyed.

Yes, I'm aware I can curse on the internet - it's not my first day here. I use the exact words I mean to use, and I'm more a fan of the precision F-strike than indiscriminately carpet-bombing the place with "fucks". Stop word-policing me (and others).
Edited to add alt text.
Yeah, this went over about as well as expected. And the irony and hypocrisy of the free speech absolutists coming out of the woodwork to tell us all what we can and can't say is not lost on me.
Yes and no... Everyone has an opinion, but it's not always appropriate to share those opinions, especially if you're changing the topic at hand to do so.
If we're discussing 'some topic'™ and I swear, but censor a couple letters; that would not be the time to change gear and discuss my personal use of censoring. You could have a separate discussion about it at a different time, as we are doing now; but it's not really appropriate to stop the previous discussion about 'some topic' to talk about my censoring instead. That comes off as avoiding the subject imo.
