My app, and clearly a lot of mobile apps, show the @, which is like the legal name, so [email protected], it does not show the account display name, which is Katy, until I click on the profile. This is most likely due to screen size and for readability. Same with the profile picture, do not see it until I click on the profile.
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
Mine does not display it like that, I have it set to a larger print though, and the full display name and the @ appears.
As I explained before, I don't give a shit about your profile picture or display name, it does nothing but take up valuable screen space. I want to see your username and comment, that's what I came here for.
You're telling me that picture "takes up too much screen space?"
I think y'all are out of your minds but you do you ig.
Still doesn't excuse or explain responding negatively to correcting misgendering.
They're responding negatively to you and the way you're choosing to engage with people, not your point.
Really, because I was responded negatively to when I was just calling out misgendering.
I have no clue what your last reply to me said since you're blocked, but I assume it was more random, flailing personal attacks. Good luck with that.
Yes, because you did it in a shitty way but apparently you're one of those people who can't be wrong, every other person is wrong.
Dude… you might want to seriously think about leaving lemmy- or at creating a different account and staring over with one where you can show more respect for people.
This place might not be for you if you can get so easily upset by other people’s choices.
Imagine whining about this person being disrespectful when you're wasting this much time and energy excusing misgendering xD that person screwed up, you don't have to be a dick about it. They were blatantly, obviously misgendering. What are you trying to accomplish by defending that?
I didn’t excuse shit, so I’m not going to get trapped up in bullshit false accusations.
Dude is whining about what apps people are using and obnoxiously demanding that people not downvote them or else explain why.
I don’t give a fuck what they’re defending or arguing for. They’re being ridiculously petty.
