Hey Folks, Technology Mod here. We’re aware of the reports that this post has gathered. I recognize that this is probably fake and that the source is suspect.
While we don’t have any source requirements in the sidebar for this community, in general better sources would be preferred. However, the post has generated enough discussion that I hesitate to remove it. Unfortunately, Lemmy doesn’t provide many tools for us to deal with situations like this, such as pinning comments, editing titles, or adding flair. For now, I’ll be leaving the post up, but I’ll continue to watch the discussion to see if other actions might need to be taken.
Thanks for your patience, folks.
Why doesn’t lemmy at least have pinned comments and flairs? Seems like a serious omission to me.
any better source than a random discord screenshot?
Looks fake based on the response format alone honestly…
Not to mention there are A LOT more slurs. There are pages and pages, it wouldn’t be a list like this.
Would be a flag in the backend not a full list sent to the client.
You don’t get your slurs sent via your authentication provider’s “freezepeach-as-a-service” API? Sounds like your app is “woke” smh
Apparently “cotton” and “Mexican” are slurs
God damn, my shirts are made of c*tton, sorry bros
I could definitely see how cotton could be used in some pretty heinous ways, maybe not by definition slurrs, but still. Given the historical context of the United States In particular.
wordlist-ignore-for-protected-users
What kind of shitty programmers make their variables this way
The same kind who have a separate variable for
ignore-wordlist-regexthat’s just another list of users almost identical to the first one.… and is not a regex
Anything’s a regex if you’re brave enough.
I have configured systems like Okta and this detail almost makes me believe this is a real leak. 😂
Once again I cast my vote for SpOnGeBoBcAsE. Pascal & camel cases are for the weak.
in answer to your question, this leak is almost certainly fake
The kind that didn’t walk out when Elon made it “sink in” that they were going to be treated like slaves: overworked, underpaid, full of anxiety, coffee, and with a boss who will randomly disconnect a whole datacenter overnight with no previous warning.
PS: not going to say it’s real 💯, but… it’s “plausible”.
ngl this looks fake as hell
Exactly, not enough slurs! Tbh like just that many? That’s all? I expected a separate wordlist
To my knowledge, twitter doesn’t block anyone from using slurs to begin with. I’m sure you can find plenty used on daily basis on “black twitter” for example.
That being said I’m going to need a more credible source than a random screenshot
Depends on what “slurs” you use. Hateful content becomes very difficult to find on Twitter (though you do get a notice about this). You can try this out by tweeting the word “cis”, which Elon has marked as a slur a while back.
So many Trumps these days. But, is this even real? Not because I don’t think this can’t be real, because it’s Twitter. My question is, is there any evidence this image being real? Because anyone could create such a fake and most people would believe it… – which tells a lot about Twitter, BTW, regardless of being true or false.
former bird employee on how it’s almost certainly fake
I kinda doubt there’s gonna be any level of shitstorm
This is, however, hilarious.
Url does not resolve to an IP address
I checked too, it’s not a valid public DNS record, so then the question is, does Oktas DNS resolve this. Even if it does, how does okta even sit in this? Are they the identity provider for Twitter? Surely even if it’s identity, it’s got nothing to do with content moderation? So many questions.
Odd. I get a full fledged HTML 404 page.
EDIT: https://archive.ph/c49ul
What dns server resolves the site?
Can someone confirm this is real?

Almost certainly not.
yt shorts is such an atrocious format to share any sort of information.
Ugh, this is all so pathetic.
Bending over backwards to accommodate the loudest idiots in the room because they complain when they face consequences for their actions.

Your reading this wrong. The guy in charge is one of those idiots. He’s just doing favors for his friends. No bending required.
Its also fake
- Why would this show in their API? Makes no sense.
- Isn’t everybody allowed to use slurs on there now?
Unless there’s a plausible snapshot from the wayback machine or archive.is, with DNS decords or any other traces that could link the name to Twitter in an official capacity, I’d take this with a grain of salt.
I made the following report on this post:
Serious claim without proper source. Please consider adding a flair or editing the title to indicate it’s unverified and/or lack source
We’re a collective of individuals upset with the way social media has been traditionally governed. A severe lack of moderation has led to major platforms like Facebook to turn into political machinery focused on disinformation campaigns as a way to make profit off of users.
Rules for thee, but not for me?
