apparently not
Huh. Ok. Maybe I've just missed them or not noticed when someone is from world. It seems like most of the more obnoxious libs have been coming from the tech spaces lately anyway. I'm glad they haven't defederated, I've actually seen a few .worlders listen to what we have to say and ask genuine questions.
it's easy to miss since a lot of people use display names, and AFAIK Hexbear is the only instance that shows the instance even if a display name is set
I wish we did that
I tried changing how usernames are displayed, but the maintainers can't agree on how it should be done.
It looks like we have Dessalines proposing Hexbear’s implementation now. Why not go with that?
That looks like what we're gonna go with. It solves the issue of users on one instance impersonating users on another.
Ellipse it like mastodon seems to do, all on the same line, and you can see the full name + instance in the cursor tooltip if you leave it long enough. Would that work or was that already discussed?
I think it was brought up at one point. Part of the issue resolving this is difficulty getting a general preference of a representative sample of the userbase.
It should be a default imo. Even just an instance icon would be fine.
It's pretty great
Honestly I think most of the worst ones have just been banned by now lol
Most likely. The ones that were here just to cause trouble are probably either banned or blocked, and the hysteria around lemmygrad has probably faded now that they realise we aren't a group of evil cannibals out to eat their children or whatever.
No, there's still tons of attacks on lemmygrad and 50 times more on hexbear out there. I would say it's increasing, it's massively spilling on lemmy main instance. I won't even want to know what is happening on their instances since they actually even brag about forming hate circlejerks when hexbear don't see and wont spam them with PPB.
Oh, I meant them coming here, I know they talk shit constantly, but they don't come around here as much, because they just make an ass of themselves. They'd rather us be a good imaginary enemy, like all good liberal enemies, instead of people they actually interact with.
I think many of those who weren't banned figured out how to block us at an instance level through apps. Not always, but often they are much worse than they were when they see Lemmygrad or Hexbear on their communities.
Yeah, if you mean here. I seen the ones displaying reddit behaviour getting hammer pretty quickly in the modlog.
but they see ppb every time they look in a mirror
