Annoyed_Crabby comments on Feature request to replace user names having giant blue letters with the corresponding normal letters. More and more people are doing it, and it's annoying.

I think a simple solution of letting user turn on and off the display name will be nice.

You shouldn't need to disable display names just to combat the 0.01% of people with annoying names. NFKC normalization is a better solution.

Counterpoint, only "0.01%" of names use annoying font. If thats all it takes to be noticeable, perhaps a toggle is better, then?

Today I learned Lemmy accounts can have a display name. I thought it was just their account name.
