Was playing online and saw someone with the name “Content” but the n was replaced with a Russian character. This makes it unsearchable (directly) in both English and Russian.

      At least on Lemmy, you don’t really search for people except in very rare cases. On Mastodon, users are more important than the topics they talk about, so over there it’s a whole different ballgame.

      This is what I was thinking. Most people probably just come together algorithmically or by having played a round together, and not necessarily by search. If there is the need to search for a specific player, there is also often a second player ID that can be used instead of the display name.
