Bluesky is under fire for allowing usernames with racial slurs
Bluesky is under fire for allowing usernames with racial slurs
It's the latest miss for Bluesky, which has already gotten backlash for being slow to respond to hate speech and threats.
Did they really allow it?
Someone made a username with a slur in it. Two hours later they were banned and the redundancy patched. A little after that an apology was announced.
33 0 ReplyYeah, this reads like such a nothingburger I don’t see why it’s news. Yeah, they didn’t add enough filters, but fixed it as soon as it was pointed out. Why continue the outrage?

In a vaccum it wouldn't be such a big issue, but it's already a pattern at this point.
