any better source than a random discord screenshot?
- doona ( @doona@aussie.zone ) 74•4 months ago
Looks fake based on the response format alone honestly…
- Scrubbles ( @scrubbles@poptalk.scrubbles.tech ) English50•4 months ago
Not to mention there are A LOT more slurs. There are pages and pages, it wouldn’t be a list like this.
- Smc87 ( @Smc87@lemmy.sdf.org ) 41•4 months ago
Would be a flag in the backend not a full list sent to the client.
- doona ( @doona@aussie.zone ) 30•4 months ago
You don’t get your slurs sent via your authentication provider’s “freezepeach-as-a-service” API? Sounds like your app is “woke” smh
- z500 ( @z500@startrek.website ) 26•4 months ago
Apparently “cotton” and “Mexican” are slurs

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.
- areyouevenreal ( @areyouevenreal@lemm.ee ) 7•4 months ago
Why doesn’t lemmy at least have pinned comments and flairs? Seems like a serious omission to me.
- TheRtRevKaiser ( @TheRtRevKaiser@beehaw.org ) 11•4 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 not sure about the flairs. It would be a very helpful moderation tool in a toolbox that is quite limited at the moment.

The same kind who have a separate variable for

that’s just another list of users almost identical to the first one.- LyD ( @LyD@lemmy.ca ) 17•4 months ago
I have configured systems like Okta and this detail almost makes me believe this is a real leak. 😂

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

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
- thingsiplay ( @thingsiplay@beehaw.org ) 33•4 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.
- dustycups ( @prex@aussie.zone ) 2•4 months ago
Well, it is a real image. I’m just not sure how it was created.
- thingsiplay ( @thingsiplay@beehaw.org ) 1•4 months ago
That’s a fun fact right there. :D
- mozz ( @mozz@mbin.grits.dev ) 27•4 months ago

This is, however, hilarious.
- Flax ( @Flax_vert@feddit.uk ) English27•4 months ago

- Isn’t everybody allowed to use slurs on there now?

Url does not resolve to an IP address
- biscuitswalrus ( @biscuitswalrus@aussie.zone ) 19•4 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.
- AVincentInSpace ( @AVincentInSpace@pawb.social ) English9•4 months ago
Odd. I get a full fledged HTML 404 page.
EDIT: https://archive.ph/c49ul
- ryannathans ( @ryannathans@aussie.zone ) 2•4 months ago
What dns server resolves the site?
- AVincentInSpace ( @AVincentInSpace@pawb.social ) English3•4 months ago
I tried to visit the site again when I saw your comment and discovered the DNS record had disappeared between when I wrote that comment and now. Fascinating. It must have been taken down and the change took a while to propagate. Judging by the fact that I could see anything at all before my ISP’s nameserver got the memo, the 404 page that was there seems to still be up even though the DNS record that got you to it is gone – wish I had thought to nslookup it when I still could. If I had to take a guess, though, it probably resolved to the same IP address as the twitter.okta.com domain.
- Nasan ( @Nasan@sopuli.xyz ) 2•4 months ago
I’m currently overseas in SE Asia, it resolves to a local address (10.3.1.1) with a cname record pointing to an AWS load balancer with 3 separate IPs through my ISP’s DNS server. protected-users.twitter.okta.com still appears across a few different DNS records according to dnschecker.org at the time of my post.

Almost certainly not.
- Ech ( @ech@lemm.ee ) English31•4 months ago
yt shorts is such an atrocious format to share any sort of information.
- intensely_human ( @intensely_human@lemm.ee ) 7•4 months ago
I heard it through a great Vine
- Liz ( @Liz@midwest.social ) English3•4 months ago
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.
- Ech ( @ech@lemm.ee ) English3•4 months ago
It’s more a criticism on them than it is on you, fwiw.
- GoodEye8 ( @GoodEye8@lemm.ee ) English3•4 months ago
So is Twitter but that didn’t stop Twitter from becoming wildly popular. YouTube shorts are just tweets in a video format.
- ahornsirup ( @ahornsirup@feddit.org ) English3•4 months ago
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).
- Todd Bonzalez ( @todd_bonzalez@lemm.ee ) 8•4 months ago
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…
- m-p{3} ( @mp3@lemmy.ca ) 19•4 months ago
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.

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?
