 I know you're trolling, but just try it out. Delete every occurrence of the word from every text you see, and behold how meaning returns. 
 I’ll admit it’s about 30% troll, 70% truth. I don’t see it as offensive, just descriptive. I personally wouldn’t mute a note from someone using that word, but that’s me. I do however have some words muted in order to not see specific people’s notes, mostly people that spam hashtags that I follow. Ultimately it is up to us to curate our feed how we want to see it and that in itself is a beautiful f****** thing.

 See, that note hasn't lost any meaning from omitting the f word, so why use it at all? It's a stupid filler, like similar to like spreading a like text with like, "like". 
 Now who’s trolling who?
