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.

Extremely shady and misleading.

    I think some form of blanket ban on certain keywords in usernames should be used. Admin being an obvious one, but I’m sure a lot more would also be problematic.

      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?
