Hell yeah!
What's the $ mean, though? I usually have only a few of those in real life ๐คท๐ป
Looks like regex. The ^ means it must begin at the beginning of a line of text, and the $ signifies the end of the line. Putting the username between ^ and $ basically means it must be a perfect match with no extras on the end, so if someone had your username plus something extra on the end or with something in front of it, you won't get a false positive trying to match against your username.
So in other words, it's a (somewhat) thorough "fuck that guy in particular"?
I like that I've irked the censorious bastard enough for that ๐
Pretty much. I suppose the way it's written isn't a fuck you, but the fact it's on the list certainly is. The only way to get more specific is to include your instance. Technically, unless there's something I'm missing about the block list since I don't know much, this would match your username but on any instance, not just specifically you on Lemmy.dbzer0.com
That's the thing, though: though I only use the other two when dbzer0 is glitching and I can't wait, I have 3 accounts, they're all called Viking_Hippie, and as far as I know, they're the ONLY accounts on Lemmy called Viking_Hippie ๐
