  any better source than a random discord screenshot?

  • doona@aussie.zone ⁨3⁩ ⁨months⁩ ago

    Looks fake based on the response format alone honestly…

    source

    • scrubbles@poptalk.scrubbles.tech ⁨3⁩ ⁨months⁩ ago

      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 for the backend not a full list sent to the client.

      Apparently “Mexican” is a slur

  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 this 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.

    source

    • TheRtRevKaiser@beehaw.org ⁨3⁩ ⁨months⁩ ago

      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 less sure about the flairs. It would be a very helpful moderation tool in a toolbox that is quite limited at the moment.

  ngl this looks fake as hell

  • slacktoid@lemmy.ml ⁨3⁩ ⁨months⁩ ago

    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

  source

  • doctordevice@lemmy.ca ⁨3⁩ ⁨months⁩ ago

    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.

    • LyD@lemmy.ca ⁨3⁩ ⁨months⁩ ago

      I have configured systems like Okta and this detail almost makes me believe this is a real leak. 😂

      … and is not a regex

    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 daracenter overnight with no previous warning.

    in answer to your question, this leak is fake

    Once again I cast my vote for SpOnGeBoBcAsE. Pascal & camel cases are for the weak.

• Thorny_Insight@lemm.ee ⁨3⁩ ⁨months⁩ ago

  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

      Well I said black twitter because I’m talking about the Voldemort slur I’m not even allowed to say aloud

      source
• thingsiplay@beehaw.org ⁨3⁩ ⁨months⁩ ago

  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.

  source

  • prex@aussie.zone ⁨3⁩ ⁨months⁩ ago

    Well, it is a real image. I’m just not sure how it was created.

    source

    • thingsiplay@beehaw.org ⁨3⁩ ⁨months⁩ ago

      That’s a fun fact right there. :D

      source
• Flax_vert@feddit.uk ⁨3⁩ ⁨months⁩ ago

  1. Why would this show in their API? Makes no sense.
  2. Isn’t everybody allowed to use slurs on there now?

  Url does not resolve to an IP address

  source

  • biscuitswalrus@aussie.zone ⁨3⁩ ⁨months⁩ ago

    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.

    source
  • AVincentInSpace@pawb.social ⁨3⁩ ⁨months⁩ ago

    Odd. I get a full fledged HTML 404 page.

    source

    • ryannathans@aussie.zone ⁨3⁩ ⁨months⁩ ago

      What dns server resolves the site?

      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, with DNS decords or any other traces that could link the name to Twitter, I’d take this with a grain of salt.

    Yeah, it doesn’t really make any sense for them to have it anywhere other than the backend.

  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?

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