ah, that makes sense. i probably did just mute them before they changed their nym. i withdraw my baseless shadowban theory

that's weird. i also went to mute the account, and it also already showed muted, but i am 99% sure i didn't mute them. maybe some sort of shadowbanned situation?

Obviously you can mute this account. Turns out I did, though I don't recall when or why. There was a burst of this crap a few weeks back, but I haven't noticed new ones lately.
