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.

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.

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

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.

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

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.
