What the fuck is "unaliving". Are you saying that unironically? If so, it's staggeringly Orwellian.

It's literal newspeak, invented so that messages about people's deaths (esp. suicides) can sneak through the censors of video social media (TikTok and YouTube mainly)

No, it's common parlance that attempts to avoid previous words associated with stigma.
