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.

    Ok, thank you. When you said

    I don’t like them, and I expected that was unpopular ;)

    I thought you were backing off of the ban position. That’s the only thing I’m interested in arguing. Not liking the distracting ones doesn’t seem that unpopular. If I thought that were your position, I would have never posted in this thread.

    I was hoping that someone else would chime in. I’m not trying to argue you with you, fmstrat. I was just hoping for more engagement than a dozen downvotes. It’s clear that you are not here to argue. But that doesn’t mean I can’t. This is an opinion forum. I don’t care if OP argues. I want to.
