For the record, I noticed because I use Friendica:

Header of the post in Friendica, which thanks to the RTL toggle character, reads literally: "XylightromuH remmargorP aív"

Jeroba only flips the instance domain, that is way more wild

No issues in Thunder.

I have display names turned off, though.

[-] Scoopta@programming.dev 1 points 1 day ago

It's probably in the display name, not the username so that would make sense. Would be interesting to know what happens if display names are on

Turns out it looks the same. Wait, something is still wrong. I turned the setting on, but I still don't see display names. Oh well.

Voyager shows username, he probably changed display name

Funnily enough, it is correctly escaped in the client they developed, Photon

it actually isnt intentional that it works fine, it's some miracle of how i split the instance name and the username in markup. i was a little disappointed that nothing funny happened when i added that initially

Call me unsurprised if @Xylight added it as a way to test for rendering errors across Fediverse clients
