Jack Dorsey-backed Twitter rival, Bluesky, faces user scrutiny for allowing racial slurs

Twitter co-founder Jack Dorsey-backed Bluesky is facing ongoing challenges with its moderation efforts as users express their intention to leave the platform in protest due to its failure to identify and flag offensive slurs used in account usernames.

A number of users, particularly those from Black communities, are disappointed with Blue Sky’s lack of an apology for allowing racial slurs to bypass their moderation tools, despite such slurs being in violation of the platform’s community guidelines.
