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 don’t see the issue. I don’t mean I personally don’t mind the names (which I don’t), but even after reading your explanation I can’t understand what the problem is.
Maybe I’m tired.

There are users I’ve blocked only due to having username like that. If you’re that desperate to stand out I’ll make sure it has the exact opposite effect.
You leave my display name alone.
Hah, as I’ve said in other replies, your contributions greatly outweigh my annoyance. But it’s still annoying (to me) 😉
Luckily I can contribute to my client to add a feature to hide display names, so I’ll just do that.
My god, 8000 comments? How long have you been here?
Since 6am this morning.
Do you suffer from severe constipation?
