    In reddit, not blurring the person can lead to the comment section being angry at the person for some reason and in that case the person will get death threats in the best case scenario. There are many past examples of this. So all names remotely related to the real discussion (like here) better be removed.
    Maybe Lemmy would be cooler than that but I’m not sure.

      In the “look at this foolish person posting something showing how stupid they are” situations that’s the case and it makes sense. In “this person openly posted content you think is good enough to repost but are removing the indicator of their rightful ownership from” situations it’s not cool.
