Not sure if that renders the same for everyone, but I’m very tired of seeing the big emoji letter usernames. Is there an option to convert these usernames to ASCII or otherwise not render them? If not, could this be something that could be implemented? I don’t want to resort to blocking everyone, but I may if there’s no other choice. It’s very visually annoying and distracting.

    it’s “display name” being presented instead of “username”, and converting the unicode code to ascii is moot, in my opinion.

    Maybe a better solution is providing the toggle option in settings to switch presentation between “display name” or “username”.

      A more dynamic option that shows the username if the display name isn’t ASCII-only would be great.
