To be clear, some really great community members have these names, but they’re everywhere now. And with the right characters you can create some really annoying overlaps: https://github.com/LemmyNet/lemmy/issues/3790

Enough of them floating around now that I’ll probably do a PR for my favorite client to filter them out.

    I’m curious, what happens when you block a user? Do you just not see anything from them anymore? Cause that seems like a super effective way to not get irate at a user you really don’t agree with on anything and can’t have a civil conversation with.

      Correct. You don’t see their posts or comments, nor do you see the replies to their comments that make you wonder what you missed. It is more like they were never there, they don’t even exist.
