    Probably a good enough reason for folks to ask if someone sees pronouns before trying to shame them. This isn’t the first time I’ve seen this discrepancy on Lemmy.

      What the butts is going on here? Does lemmy.one show different usernames than lemmy.world and lemmy.blahaj.zone and sopuli.xyz?

        One is the username, the other is the display name. The client can show either of them. Mine (Thunder) let’s you configure that.

        No clue, could be instances, could be apps. I’ve definitely seen comments of “don’t you see their pronouns?” And the answer is genuinely, no. So I suspect it has something to do with that mechanism.
