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.

    Let’s not federate with that instance. Then, they can have any bots or username they want.

      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…

        for other instances it’s name will appear as : @admin@Podycust …so not such a big deal

        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.
