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.

        You use a client that shows avatars? I disable all that stuff ASAP. Same with Reddit, never saw any avatars or awards or snoos… blocked all of it.

          My client is called web browser. But thanks, because I found that I can disable it here too.

            Okay, but which one? Our instance has a bunch of alternative UIs:

              What? I didn’t know that. 😀 👍 I’m using default lemmy world, that works fine for me. And I found out avatars can be disabled, so I did that.
              But I’ll definitely check out the other interfaces.
