I am pretty middle of the road when it comes to blocking, I don’t block super often but do occasionally when I’m feeling it. In total over my time I’ve amassed something like 45 blocks, but looking at the list recently I realized that almost a third of those blocks are one user. I don’t like their vibe, but they are a prolific poster and account creator. The last time I counted I had twelve blocks for their accounts, but is there a way to set up a block or filter that will keep up with them making accounts with the same name on dozens of instances?

    Run a small periodic program in the background that will search for users with that name pattern using the Lemmy Search API and block them.
