A nice place to discuss rumors, happenings, innovations, and challenges in the technology sphere. We also welcome discussions on the intersections of technology and society. If it’s technological news or discussion of technology, it probably belongs here.
Remember the overriding ethos on Beehaw: Be(e) Nice. Each user you encounter here is a person, and should be treated with kindness (even if they’re wrong, or use a Linux distro you don’t like). Personal attacks will not be tolerated.

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
How dare you to type "cotton" and "Mexican"!
God damn, my shirts are made of c*tton, sorry bros
You lucky bastard. Mine is made of Mexicans.
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.
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.
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-regex that'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
Once again I cast my vote for SpOnGeBoBcAsE. Pascal & camel cases are for the weak.

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

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.
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 internal 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.

Can someone confirm this is real?
https://youtube.com/shorts/c7OX-PKgF2U
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.

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

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.
