But i think using filter method to delete an element is heavy process as filter method returns a new array , suppose you are performing this action on 1000 Dom elements, it means if you remove 1 element using filter, other 999 element will rerender
On the other hand using splice method will remove the element from the original array directly
Talking about React, the other 999 elements won´t rerender because it keep track of them with a key and knows they haven´t changed.
Also, Reacts uses the Object.is(x, y) method to know when the state changed, and if you remove an array element using splice, React won´t rerender because it still is the reference to the same array even tho you modified it.
Like once in a project i mapped the Array item with HTML UI using method,
Then delete element with button click using filter method, What it was doing is refreshing the entire list of HTML element, like there is a update Dom method which sets the innerHTML of the list with the updated array
So it was doing a heavy operation with that filter array approach
Then i used the Event Propagation and find the element using closest() method of DOM, when we click on delete button of an element, it will find the closest parent element which holds that delete button and other Things, and then deleting that parent element using remove() method
Actually with React you shouldn't mutate your state. If your keys are consistent it will not rerender your other elements. With filter, the objects identities doesn't change, only the array identity (it returns a new array containing the same objects).
For further actions, you may consider blocking this person and/or reporting abuse

And for the Vanilla javascript?
Btw I use Event Propagation to remove Elements from DOM in Vanilla javascript
Also if we splice the state of useState and then update the state with the spliced version using setState, will it make a difference?
Don't mutate your state in React !

Ohk thanks for this
What do you mean by rerender ?
