So, while this user (and their many reincarnations) has really impacted my enjoyment of Lemmy over the last couple of weeks, they do highlight one of the larger shortcomings of the platform. There's nothing stopping an unstable, disturbed, bored person from grinding through accounts. A problem on any platform, for sure. Though folks like this do seem to filter out in the noise of larger projects.
I don't have a solution for this. But I'm nearly to the point of tearing down my own instance.

Another day, another username to block. See you again tomorrow, dickhead.
Relatable
Nvm
Any reason for a given individual to not block him? I came aware of him last week. Tried not blocking. Decided blocking was more helpful.
replies:
Just block him every time he pops up and move on.
So I just looked through the mod log. If I remember right, every one of these were the among the things he was posting, pretty sure he posted a lot more though. Can anyone corroborate this?
