Before this week, Bluesky did not have an automated system in place to prevent people from including the n-word in their handle…

    An unfortunate oversight, definitely. Acting like it was an intentionally malicious choice or that it makes bluesky so incompetent they should shut down is a huge reach, though.

    And while Bluesky eventually dealt with the issue,

    There were complaints so they patched the system. Again, another nothinburger… Always coming from the same poster.

    “40 minutes after it was reported, the account was taken down, and the code that allowed this to occur was patched.”

    Nothingburger. Stop spamming please. This has nothing to do with tech. You cannot just post anything you want and ask people to leave if they are not happy.

      It shows a lack of consideration and foresight.

        Didn’t you create your own sub to spam?

        Don’t flood defaults subs with irrelevant posts, this is not reddit here.

        Create your own sub if you want to spam.

          Stop harassing people, will you?

            Yeah this is the third comment chain with this nonsense I’ve seen. Dude needs to post their own articles/content, just block OP, or both.

    To be fair, Lemmy has the same problem, there are at least two trolls I’ve encountered with such username.

    Blocking trashy, racist, etc is one of, if not the first thing that should be included and they couldn’t even be bothered. Not giving me hope.

      Apparently, making it so people couldn’t use the n-word in their user name just wasn’t a priority. But making it so you could get banned for using “cracker,” however, was.

    I think that the main thing this reveals about the bluesky admins is that they haven’t thought that hard about harrasment, which is weird to not do if you’re trying to launch a new social media platform.
