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.

      They are probably yes, but the French might not agree since é isn’t included. Let alone the vast majority of the world who doesn’t use the latin alphabet.
