    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.

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

    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?

    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

      Exactly, not enough slurs! Tbh like just that many? That’s all? I expected a separate wordlist

    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.

          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.

            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.

      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.

      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”.

      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.

    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.
