keyword moderation is terrible and only affects the language(s) you know about. It doesn't actually prevent the content (the goal of these types of filters) from being served. It'd be like a virus scanner preventing a program from running because it had the name 'virus' in it ... which would prevent itself from running -- probably.
I run a business called Keygen [^0], and own the @keygen namespace on npm. We’re working on a Node SDK, so this isn’t good to hear. I’ll open up a discussion with them and see what we can do. [^0]: https://keygen.sh

I thought buttbuttination taught everyone how incredibly stupid this is 25-30 years or so ago already? But no. Just a few years ago I tried to enter an answer into a Hungarian Q&A site recommending to take the Algeciras-Tangier ferry and the answer was refused. https://en.wiktionary.org/wiki/geci
