🏕️ Autumn How do I report content? Just saw the N word being used as a username. :/
🏒 Lucian Marin Is there a list of offensive English words that I can use?

🧩 Ben content moderation is a hard problem. there's pretrained nlp models on kaggle for detecting hate speech (for some definition of hate speech) -> kaggle.com/c/jigsa...
Bnaw Let's be honest ML for moderation (except maybe spam) always goes wrong. I really like the approach HN takes.

🌚 Nlggers "I think all censorship should be deplored. My position is that bits are not a bug - that we should create communications technologies that allow people to send whatever they like to each other. And when people put their thumbs on the scale and try to say what can and can't be sent, we should fight back - both politically through protest and technologically through software." -- Aaron Swartz (co-founder of Reddit)

🎯 Gallium Oxide Save your time and don't bother. Filtered words are already circumvented on other platforms with euphemisms ('jogger' for nigger) or simple character substitutions (e.g. g00k). And as Tyler the Creator famously said, "how the fuck is cyber-bullying real nigga, just look away, just walk away from the screen haha"
🏕️ Autumn Great. I'll walk away from this website if that's the attitude.
🏕️ Autumn Racist slurs would be a good start.
🏒 Lucian Marin Only if they are used in usernames, as you initially said. Logout, delete, etc. are already invalid as usernames.
