Would this issue fall under the front-end UI or the back-end?
Comment on Three questions from our instance's user base

Can we restrict registered usernames (e.g. not allow slur-filled usernames)?
Make an issue for this, it sounds like something that will get done.

As an aside, this question was prompted because we noticed someone had registered to our instance with the name of "hitlerschild" and posted, through federation, to the post "Do you read books?" posted on asklemmy@lemmy.ml.
Given this is a potential abuse vector, it might be wise to also globally restrict federated posting on new accounts for some period of time such as 24-72 hours.

We recommend turning on registration applications in your server settings, almost all lemmy instances have been getting trolled these last 3 weeks.
