Bluesky, the "decentralized protocol", has a list of forbidden words: https://github.com/bluesky-social/atproto/blob/0bac4e775242b1916ed4216ab113b9553facf8fa/packages/identifier/src/reserved.ts

It's a long list
I don't kno which is worse, 'Slurs' or 'Famous Accounts ' 😂
Time for freedom lovers to abandon that sinking ship.
It's DOA 😂
I see Bluesky pretty much stuck in the middle and probably Dead on Arrival. I little bit of censorship is like a little bit of poison. Just use Nostr be free. if you are okay with any type of censorship there is plenty of options out there with much bigger networks already no need for BlueSky.
Every Nostr relay has to censor stuff or it risks getting shut down . Copyright images, pron, all sorts has to be censored. Abuse etc. Much will be subjective stuff open to lawsuits people won't want to fight. In the end I suspect Nostr will be little different to twitter to the end user outcome, because every relay owner is accountable for what is on their relay. Just as Musk is, both within the law but also within the threat of public scrutiny and endless lawsuits.
Pffff, fake stuff. I joined a few weeks ago but also totally miss that ‘vibe’ we have over here at #nostr. Can’t describe it but this place just feels so much better, more constructive, honest and open

Ooooohhhhh you are such a naughty boy!
I can say nigga. I'm white.
(I got my stripes in my hood)
Use bluesky, and no one can even type it without repercussions.
🤣
(Tbh, it's to keep most African Americans away from bluesky, as im sure bluesky creators knew nigga is common language for African Americans)
Cringe
Is “airdrop” one of them?
Nice of them to include the extensive list
Now I have a list of words I have to look up.
Wait... when did Hitler become a slur? Who is it a slur towards? Pedophile isnt a slur either...
I opened an acc there with handle adolfhiter, it got banned within half an hour, w/o writing any posts. I'd like to remind impersonation accounts aren't forbidden there. BlueSky is a very Faschist administration platform.
"pedophile" is listed under slurs. I know what kind of people don't want you to say that word: pedos
Interesting to see Hitler as forbidden word. How else are you supposed to talk about Hitler? 🤔
And yet ive seen them throw around the word a lot. Calling people nazis and such.
"The Austrian that shall not be named". 🤣
On the nostr, relays does same.
Change relay == change instance.
P.S. Nostr > AP
"Pedophile" is a slur? AYFKM? 🤬
It's a list of "reserved identifiers". Saying it's list of banned words is misleading.
Scroll down further to the 'naive, incomplete list of slurs and unacceptable words' array. https://github.com/bluesky-social/atproto/blob/0bac4e775242b1916ed4216ab113b9553facf8fa/packages/identifier/src/reserved.ts#L1050
Yeah I see it. If I understand correctly, they got a list of naughty words somewhere and made them part of "reserved identifiers". So you cannot come and create an account @hitler. That does not mean it's a forbidden word as nostr:npub180cvv07tjdrrgpa0j7j7tmnyl2yr6yr7l8j4s3evf6u64th6gkwsyjh6w6 suggests.
That's true. I didn't intend to mislead, but this was very misleading.
You can still use racial slurs on Bluesky, you just can't name your account with one of them.
Very US/UK oriented list of slurs.
lmfao that somebody had to type those slurs to construct that list. they are going straight to hell and they know it 😂
Where are the slurs for Brazilians? I need some inspiration.
Lmao. So much for free speech over there 🤦🏽♂️
😆😂🤣😭🤭😊
I saw that. And they’re blocking each other over it! 
snoopdog is part of the protocol 🤣
this pr is perfection
All those variations are killing me 😂😂😂

Achievement unlocked: banned by the ceo of nostr and never banned from nostr:npub1sg6plzptd64u62a878hep2kev88swjh3tw00gjsfl8f237lmu63q0uf63m back when I used twitter lmao
Uhhh excuse me?? Why isn't muggle on this list???
Let's all change our handles to ethnic slurs, that'll show them
I always assumed the "bod" in your name was an ethnic slur.
And the most vile and offensive text written in this file is this piece of inefficient “reduce”:
export const reservedSubdomains: Record
...atpSpecific,
...commonlyReserved,
...famousAccounts,
...slurs,
].reduce((acc, cur) => {
return {
...acc,
[cur]: true,
}
}, {})
Why not use “Object.fromEntries(…)”??
