Blocking out the names but not the @s was certainly a choice. Or was the inanity part of a stealth advertising campaign where people point out the inanity and thus call attention to the @. The internet’s friggin weird.
Given how bad most name censoring is, I think most people doing it don’t actually want to but also don’t want to be accused of blatantly violating rules requiring it.
It’s a pretty stupid rule to extend protections against doxxing to publicly visible usernames. They’re already posting publicly with that name. Even with them blotted out, you can search for the text or reverse image search and find it in 2 seconds.
