To be clear, some really great community members have these names, but they’re everywhere now. And with the right characters you can create some really annoying overlaps: https://github.com/LemmyNet/lemmy/issues/3790

Enough of them floating around now that I’ll probably do a PR for my favorite client to filter them out.

      Edit: why is it huge? can someone tell me how to post that smaller? i uploaded a 229 pixel tall gif.

      Edit 2: The irony of accidentally posting something that can render obnoxiously large on this thread in particular is not lost on me.

        Probably because it’s a webm, not a gif.

          Right, I uploaded a gif to lemmy. That wasn’t the question.

          Is there a way to specify the geometry that is meant to be displayed?

          Edit: Is a downvote taken to mean “I don’t know”? Since they’re anonymous, why bother? I know this isn’t a support thread, but am I missing something? Was the “help” that it is a webm helpful? Are those inherently non-resizable? Why is it upscaling my ~200 px gif to what I am seeing? If this is a hard question, I can move to a support thread, but I was hoping someone knew off the dome.
