Reporting users for offensive usernames/names

How do we do that?

This shouldn't be possible to create in the first place to begin with, and it shouldn't be possible to edit the "pretty name" to something like that.

As I said below there is no list of usernames or community names that are automatically blocked/banned because Lemmy currently doesn't have that feature. Please keep reporting those.

Edit: there actually is an option. The slur-filter is being activated
- Thanks for the info!
Thank you for bringing this to our attention. I have banned him and the community he created.
- Thanks!
Stupid question possibly. Do we allow people who are black say nigga on here since they say it in public and no one questions them?
- It's an offensive word to a large group of people. As an immigrant, I don't see how who says it changes the fact that it's offensive. 🤷‍♂️
  
  Yeah this guy and his community will be banned. If you see anything like that, report and it will be taken care of. Unfortunately Lemmy does not allow a list of blocked/banned usernames or community names. But admins are quick to respond.> Edit: there actually is an option. The slur-filter is being activated
