Welcome
We're not The Onion! Not affiliated with them in any way! Not operated by them in any way! All the news here is real!
The Rules
Posts must be:
- Links to news stories from...
- ...credible sources, with...
- ...their original headlines, that...
- ...would make people who see the headline think, “That has got to be a story from The Onion, America’s Finest News Source.”
Comments must abide by the server rules for Lemmy.world and generally abstain from trollish, bigoted, or otherwise disruptive behavior that makes this community less fun for everyone.
And that’s basically it!

Which brings me back to the question I've been trying to get an answer to as to why someone would go out of their way to install an app that reduces the websites functionality.
In any case, the proper response should be, "oops, it was a mistake, thanks for letting me know" and not fighting me on it or downvoting.
To accomodate different instances and different infrastructure I would assume. My app lets me turn the display name and the profile picture on and off, but again the size of the photo and the dual display name and @ takes up a lot of screen space and it’s easier to have them off.
Respectfully disagree
collapsed inline media
Mine does not display it like that, I have it set to a larger print though, and the full display name and the @ appears.
