1) Do you honestly think they would add "fuck" to a blocklist but then turn a blind-eye to "fck"? Basic profanity filters on old forum software were more strict.
2) I find it completely inane that you are willing to self-censor yourself for an algorithm. I guess we no longer need a ministry of truth if the people just produced censored content to begin with, right?

I don't think it's a literal blocklist; it's more an correlation algorithmically determined. If the four-letter word is correlated to hate or violence but the three-letter one is not then ... that's all that matters.
