Linguist and content creator Adam Aleksic explores how social media algorithms are reshaping language, with users developing coded terms like 'unalived' and 'seggs' to evade automated moderation. This phenomenon, which Aleksic calls 'algospeak,' is not only changing online communication but also influencing how people speak offline, especially among younger generations. Aleksic highlights how fringe communities and minority groups often drive the creation of new slang, which then spreads to the mainstream, sometimes carrying unsettling origins. He also notes that algospeak serves as both a tool for digital protest and a reflection of the constant push and pull between human creativity and algorithmic oversight, a trend seen globally across languages. Despite increasingly sophisticated moderation tools, Aleksic believes people will always find inventive ways to express themselves online.
