I haven’t seen any “hateful” comm balls yet, mostly Hello’s from South American countries (so I don’t think it’s IP based).
With Aquarius though, I’ve seen a few political comm balls, which might be what’s irking a lot of the community.
I think markers in general need a rework, some sorta menu to pick and choose which ones you’d like active would be neat, along with filters for the types of markers you have active.
…and perhaps a ‘slider’ to adjust opacity so its less jarring if you choose to have the on-screen icons on.
There seems to be a limit to the number of comm balls the game will store at a location. Once the limit is reached, a new comm can only be stored by removing one of the older ones. When playing expeditions, at rendezvous points, If I revisit, I find different comm balls every time.
I do see hateful statements - mostly relating to Russia/Ukraine or Israel/Palestine, but there are other targets. Like offensive planet/system names, or troll bases, you can report them, but that only stops you from seeing them. They remain visible to other players. I am not aware of any monitoring / policing action on the part of Hello Games.
The comm balls are a hangover from the days when NMS was not a multiplayer game. They were essentially the only way players could communicate. In many ways they are no longer necessary.
Having said all the above, I have to admit that I generally like them. It’s nice to arrive at a destination and see “Greetings from Alberta”, “Keep Going - Nearly There!”, or even “Bonzo Was Here”,
I heard about the trump ones and my understanding of those is, it’s just a teenager or kid trying to get a rise out of people.
We give trump supporters too much credit, I doubt genuine maga folk are finding their way to the Mercury Process to leave comm balls as a show of support on the campaign trail.
I’m sure half of em think Space is some afront to God anyway (I’m being facetious of course, those are only a small proportion of the trump supporters)
It would be a shame to lose comm balls to something like a stupid kid trying to be edgy, but they do need a revisit/revamp
We’ll catch up with you some day, Bonzo.
Not a happy camper?
They can’t make LNF work? 
Removing the profanity filter
‘Bad Words’ → ’ Bad Worlds’…?
“On Fire” I wonder?
I am going with The Cursed
If a duplicate comes tomorrow, rapiers will be added as weapons.
(Curses, … FOILed again!)
Huh… considering this is a single emoji, I guess we have to kind of assume that it’s related to the next update. But in that case I have no idea what it could be. We just had a major combat-focused update, so… 
Very

I remember the unused Update Title they added in with Adrift was called “The Cursed”… I don’t think they’d be teasing what’s probably a Halloween update this far back, but maybe this update delves more into the story of the Ghost Frigate? A new sub race of whatever it’s crew is?
That would be cool. 
A haunted sea cruise or space cruise could be fun
Kind of reminds of that parody comic strip, where Sean is madly running out of the house yelling “TINY EVIL SKELETONS!”
