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.
What is a standard character? It’s not a simple question.
Yes it is, Ascii
Well no, it’s obviously utf-8
They’re probably talking about a-zA-Z0-9, maybe _.-
What about äöüß?
Ï døñ’t kńõ2w whåt ÿōû’rë tælkìng äbôüt.
Don’t forget 0, that’s valid as well.
Right of course, fixed.
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.
