I keep seeing the same names popping up. I think it's rather cute!

I have a really bad habit of never looking at anyone's names..

[–] RalphFurley@lemmy.world 8 points 10 months ago (1 children)

Well, Neil, isn't that a little selfish of you!

[–] Neil@lemmy.ml 10 points 10 months ago

Yes, whoever you are.

Same, but it is a trained habit. I purposefully do not want to look at usernames.

You'll be having a perfectly nice conversation only to look up and see you're talking to "uwu_yes_daddy" or "aryan_enjoyer88."

There are specific users with emoji names that stand out a lot all of the time.

Interesting! I wonder if the Eternity client doesn't show that? I have never noticed it at least. I am also in the habit of never looking at names though. Maybe it is good to be in the habit of remembering names because it humanizes the people on the other end or so?

For me profile pictures helps a lot. You could go to Settings->interface->comments->show avatar

[–] JustEnoughDucks@feddit.nl 1 points 10 months ago

Oh wow, thanks!

[–] Flax_vert 1 points 10 months ago

I am on eternity, too, it shows that
