[Bug] Security Setting to hide username seems a little inconsistent. (feddit.uk)

Also, I feel like it would make more sense to hide the whole thing including instance rather than just the username.

Wait, it's just supposed to hide your username when you're viewing the app locally? I don't mean to be rude, but what is the use case for this? Do you frequently have people looking over your shoulder at the screen or something?

what is the use case for this?

Live streaming and screen recording.

Edit: grammar

Ah, that is an excellent use case and one that hadn't occurred to me at all. Thanks for clarifying that for me!
