One the biggest problems with the internet today is bad actors know how to manipulate or dodge the content moderation to avoid punitive consequences. The big social platforms are moderated by the most naive people in the world. It's either that or willful negligence. Has to be. There's just no way these tech bros who spent their lives deep in internet culture are so clueless about how to content moderate.
People have been doing that since the dawn of the internet. People on my old forum in the 90s tried to circumvent profanity filters on phpBB.
Even now you can get round Lemmy.World filters against "fag-got" by adding a hyphen in it.
Nothing new under the sun.
