To be clear, some really great community members have these names, but they’re everywhere now. And with the right characters you can create some really annoying overlaps: https://github.com/LemmyNet/lemmy/issues/3790
Enough of them floating around now that I’ll probably do a PR for my favorite client to filter them out.
I do not give a fuck if you want to see display names or not. I am all for giving you the ability to disable them. Most people like display names, and we already have display names, so I think it makes a lot more sense to offer a solution to the problem created by a small minority of abusive users that isn’t just “disable display names.”
Why the agressivity? We’re just voicing our opinions here and GP only asked for the option to do it. Please let’s not make this a new re**it.
Because I’m getting flooded with downvotes and inane replies that are aggressively misunderstanding me.
Just take a deep breath and maybe take a break from the Internet. No one knows who you are. No one’s personally coming after you. No one’s agressive.
