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. (lemmy.world)

I don't mind them and I don't understand what the outrage is about. I've been able to identify some of these individuals across threads because they tend to stand out and I find that very endearing from a community POV. I'd rather have some form of personalization rather than slapping everyone with a uniform.

    I don't think anyone is outraged. It's just an annoyance. I'm happily scrolling and reading titles and then N O T I C E M E!. It's a distraction.

    A name alone is personalization enough.

    These posts sound more than an annoyance.

    A name alone is personalization enough.

    I don't think so. People literally pay for personalization and a customized experience. If it were enough, we wouldn't be here asking to normalize usernames in the first place.

    How about just adding it in as a rendering option on the client side, making it so that they keep their usernames, but you can see the normal letter versions?
