Honestly: my first thought is to figure out how to make your point without mentioning either.
I know I'm not there default Internet denizen, but personally I'm absolutely sick of seeing their names and taking about them, because so much of it is ineffectual rage bait. It misses the plot.
I don't need to hear more about their personal failings. I know what kind of people they are. What I need to to know about are their victims and their challengers: the people who need protected and the people finding success protecting them.
Based on my experience, Reddit isn't limiting their names. Every visit is a deluge. I have to wonder if your posts are just failing to grab attention in New for the usual reasons. If so, using silly 'He-who-must-not-be-named' euphamisims probably won't help.
My advice is to focus less on them than on the people and things we must focus on to parry their attacks and transfer their power to servants of public will with integrity.
I wonder how many people are browsing this thread to help improve their personal word filters, although the names in the title would probably hide it from anyone that has those set up already.
RES supports filters, a number of lemmy apps do, and I think piefed has it built in.
