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.

Usually I’d agree, but there has to be something more that can be done to prevent others from putting keywords like that in their name. Otherwise it’ll just happen again…
I think admin, administrator and those type names (system administrator, sys admin etc) should be reserved but you shouldnt ban admin as being part of a name. What about sadmin / sadminute… or badmin / badminute (and every variantion of that like MadMinotaur )and other variants like that.
for other instances it’s name will appear as :
@admin@Podycust…so not such a big dealKbin doesn’t display the instance someone is on unless you click on their username for some reason. It’s not a great design choice for a federated platform.
Today I’ve learned (TiL) ! thanks 🙂
if original poster (OP) had posted there instead of in lemmy.world … would have been better … yet not a big deal 😌
I don’t use kbin so I couldn’t have known, sorry.
You are right, I’m getting confused
… and I need a coffee 😋 !
