They are missing the T word, the F word, the D word, the S word, and the M word. Now obviously only some of those are racial slurs but I think keeping this in the code base rather than a database is definitely asking for issues

Tesla, Ford, Daihatsu, Suzuki, Mitsubishi?
mind you, I only condone usage of the 3rd and 5th.

You actually can now, but it's still in "sandbox" stage. https://atproto.com/blog/federation-developer-sandbox
R.I.P. my sauerkraut fan club Let me be the first to bring Jung into this, "What you resist, persists", in trying to avoid the usage of slurs, you had to go and commit them to a public branch of source code to be saved in the arctic vault for eternity.
Funny enough I went to a Krautrock mini-festival a few weeks ago, here in Germany. Nobody I know cares about the term "kraut". At this point it is just outdated WW2 lingo that never caught on here. I feel like "Kartoffel" is often used in a more offensive way. Although I've never really seen someone getting really offended.
> add more words that should be cought I hope they have fewer typos in their slur list than in their code comments :) I started reading the list from the bottom up, and saw the N word written with a W a first letter. I first thought they were going to do a .replace("W", "N") to avoid spelling the word in plain text. They'll have issues once github bans slurs from source code! ;)
It's not a typo. Google it. It's a derogatory term for white people who adopt black culture and mannerisms.

They're on the same level insofar as it's been deemed serious enough by someone to put on this list. Just funny to see it on a list filled with ethnic slurs and a couple disability slurs, looks very out of place to see an extremely-online insult alongside slurs with tons of historical baggage.
Does it really surprise you to see an extremely-online insult being included in a black list for an app for extremely-online people? I genuinely can't understand the confusion.

Also, there are a lot more languages than English. Do you want to ban all acronyms that sound like a slur in one of them?
