This might be another bug relating to federation, but might also be relating to caching on their end. Or because every Lemmy application keeps their own archive, it’s possible the user display name doesn’t federate on a change but only on a post that they can see? (Or not at all, or only on a timed refresh?)

Lets check after 24/48 hours on those links and we’ll see what they say after that.

I too think it’s possibly a software bug rather than a cache issue. We don’t cache anything if you are signed in, and if it was a cache issue it would show both of the old names on the page rather than only one changing.

Oops! Sometimes we admins like to joke around!

Hey! Sorry for the joke, I didn’t expect it to be seen by a real user!

As we are one of the very few instances that has a no email policy there is very few ways in which we can determine if a person signing up is a bot or a regular user.

Recently a very very specific person or group of people have been abusing Reddthat to create accounts, then ask interesting questions (let’s just say that), and then proceed to delete their account (which deletes all of their posts and comments). This makes it impossible to figure out what they have done unless someone quotes the reply or reports it before they delete it.

I’m sorry you got caught up in the little bit of fun us admins have with writing little anecdotes or fun catch phases!

You are welcome to come say hi on Reddthat any time!

Edit: Is it worth 30-60minutes of your time, the screwdrivers, maybe the spatchula, and reinstalling steamOS onto the drive?

What a hero!
