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.
I think pinned comments were added in a recent update, but in that case Beehaw hasn’t updated for various reasons that have been explained elsewhere.
I’m not sure about the flairs. It would be a very helpful moderation tool in a toolbox that is quite limited at the moment.
any better source than a random discord screenshot?
former bird employee on how it’s almost certainly fake
ngl this looks fake as hell
Exactly, not enough slurs! Tbh like just that many? That’s all? I expected a separate wordlist
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.I have configured systems like Okta and this detail almost makes me believe this is a real leak. 😂
… and is not a regex
Anything’s a regex if you’re brave enough.
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”.
in answer to your question, this leak is almost certainly fake
The kind left after “The Sink” incident
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

What happens?

Are you sure? Last time I checked it just gives you a pop-up asking if you’re sure you want to use that word as some people can find it problematic and if you say yes it’ll get posted like a normal tweet.
Well I said black twitter because I’m talking about the Voldemort slur I’m not even allowed to say aloud
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.
- Why would this show in their API? Makes no sense.
- Isn’t everybody allowed to use slurs on there now?
I kinda doubt there’s gonna be any level of shitstorm
This is, however, hilarious.
Can someone confirm this is real?

Almost certainly not.
yt shorts is such an atrocious format to share any sort of information.
I heard it through a great Vine
So is Twitter but that didn’t stop Twitter from becoming wildly popular. YouTube shorts are just tweets in a video format.
At least you can quickly read a tweet, considering how short they are it takes like a second. Shorts are worse, you have the same limited information but you have to watch the whole damn thing to get it (even with subtitles).
Yeah I agree, but that’s the place where the expert I know shared their knowledge. If I had a text based source I would have used that.
It’s more a criticism on them than it is on you, fwiw.
As someone who integrates Okta for a living, I have no idea why this would be part of the config. I can’t even figure how you would use Okta for content filtering at all.
It’s an authentication service…
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’m dehydrated after how many grains of salt I took this with
Yeah, it doesn’t really make any sense for them to have it anywhere other than the backend.
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
Remember kids: ✌ two sources or it didnt happen
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.
Its also fake

Your reading this wrong. The guy in charge is one of those idiots. He’s just doing favors for his friends. No bending required.
