It’s confusing for new users, and this instance in particular has 7k users but no interactions. It’s a bot army, with the top user being called @admin.
I think they could put it in the Lemmy source code that an instance won’t display or take comments/posts from anyone with those usernames. So even if someone removed that restriction from their own instance, they wouldn’t be able to post on any other instance that has that feature enabled
I guess what I meant is, how? It could be put into Lemmy sourcecode but since its open source that could be easily removed.
Each instance could possibly try and autoban any other instance user with that name?
I’ll admit I’m not tech-savvy enough to know how to implement something like that. Maybe someone else has a good idea though?
