it's "display name" being presented instead of "username", and converting the unicode code to ascii is moot, in my opinion.
Maybe a better solution is providing the toggle option in settings to switch presentation between "display name" or "username".
Your name is annoying too

Well, he's unreachable.
A more dynamic option that shows the username if the display name isn't ASCII-only would be great.
Emoji size is directly correlated to dick size
Kolanaki, what are your thoughts?
Is Boost already doing this? I feel like I used to see them a lot, but they disappeared a few months back.
I'm with you, they ruin the flow of information.
I think I would like a toggle between usernames and display names. Let people do whatever customization they want but then you can disable it to see just the plaintext username if you (like me) prefer the simplicity.
It's still killing me right now, in fact, that the setting to disable user avatars isn't sticking in the current version. I prefer to keep all of my Lemmy browsing impersonal so as to prioritize the content and the discussion over the personalities.
How do you feel about regular emoji names
Until hexbear users can use shitty oversized images in their username it's not good enough.
But... emojis aren't the problem there. They should be the same font size as the text.
Oh, I love layout breaking shit. It's always been funny.
