You actually can now, but it's still in "sandbox" stage. https://atproto.com/blog/federation-developer-sandbox
So you could take their code, tell them to screw off, and run your own instances independently of them?

Tesla, Ford, Daihatsu, Suzuki, Mitsubishi?
tranny, faggot, dick, slut, motherfucker mind you, I only condone usage of the 3rd and 5th.
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
> T word, the F word, the D word, the S word, and the M word God, this is so childish. Perhaps you think that list should also only list words as "f-word" and have software interpret what it refers to so as not to offend anyone reading the code. Funny anecdote about this: in the podcast "Blocked and Reported" one of the presenters tells a story she heard from a mother. Her child learned in school that "under no circu…
The point of not mentioning a full word was because for a slur to be a slur it needs to be in a shared context. Otherwise maybe it's just a shortened version of Michael or an embankment used to prevent flooding. The child in your anecdote is a perfect example of that. Thank you.
> 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! ;)
S*yb*y is now a slur on the same level as racial slurs now?
Add this to the list of "running a social network is hard" issues
The solution to slurs and insults is always to let them speak and let them be ridiculed, not arbitrary censorship that will never be effective other than to give the platform a veneer of "we've done something" credibility

You might want to actually read that wikipedia post..... "The slang term Guido is used in American culture to refer derogatorily to an urban working-class Italian or Italian-American male who is overly aggressive or macho with a tendency for certain conspicuous behavior.[3] It may also be used as a more general ethnic slur for working-class urban Italian Americans.[4]"
I'm not American and I know plenty of Guidos. It's just a name, and banning people named that is incredibly discriminatory.
