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.

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.

any better source than a random discord screenshot?

Looks fake based on the response format alone honestly…

[–] [email protected] 10 points 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 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

[–] [email protected] 5 points 3 months ago

wordlist-ignore-for-protected-users

What kind of shitty programmers make their variables this way

[–] [email protected] 8 points 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.

Url does not resolve to an IP address

[–] [email protected] 7 points 3 months ago* (last edited 3 months ago)

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.

[–] [email protected] 9 points 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.

I kinda doubt there’s gonna be any level of shitstorm

This is, however, hilarious.

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.
