View submission: How many subs censor swearing?
It's too common and it feels foolish. Here's one sample of many.
This is from a **technology sub**. This is bullshit. Reddit is a site for adults and if you somehow let your 5 year old on Reddit, and your 5 year old somehow doesn't know the word "bullshit" that is your problem, not mine. It reveals incredible differences and hypocrisies around social norms we have across the English world.

I feel you. At the same time, users that create and/or cultivate communities get to decide the rules. Being a mod is challenging and thankless. I encourage you to create a subreddit with your own set of preferred rules.

I would hazard a guess that it's also to help reduce arguments and get better SEO, given tech subs are a common resource for fixing problems via Google, and kids curious about tech *will* be finding them.
