In the Animal Crossing: New Horizons game for the Nintendo Switch, what can online users visiting via a Dodo Code do on my island?
I'm particularly interested in any sort of "griefing" behavior I should be aware of before I open my island to strangers. I'd like to know the risks before I share a Dodo Code on social media if I have e.g. a good turnip sell price.
It might also be helpful to know if there are differences in what visitors can do when they are considered friends or "best friends".
User discussion of the game online seems to indicate that it does not, or at least that it isn't an especially robust filter:

The tweet in question also has replies featuring others' screenshots of names one would expect a language filter to catch.
I can confirm from my own experience getting the first achievement, the following actions do not break your streak:
However, as soon as a fish has spotted your dobber, cancelling it will break your streak. This is noticed easily by the fish disappearing.
Basically; if there is no fish, or the fish stays after cancelling, it was a 'safe' cast.

Pick up items that are dropped (not placed), pick flowers and harvest trees (which isn‘t that „bad“ bc this will grow back, since you need an axe/shovel to completely kill/steal flowers or trees and you can only use the axe or shovel when you are Best Friends with the Person.
So actually nothing that doesn‘t grow back, just make sure you don‘t have items laying around. Same goes for money trees, fence them around. I always walk around my island before opening with dodo code for random players, I pick up the message in the bottle and other stuff so I don‘t have to worry about something
