Drag? What do you mean?
This guy's gimmick is to speak about himself in the third person. You can safely block him.
Drag does not identify as a guy and drag does not use he/him/himself pronouns. Drag would appreciate not being so blatantly misgendered.
Drag's pronoun is in brackets in drag's display name. Drag wonders why you choose to complain to other people about your own decision not to read the things on your screen.
Your gimmick doesn't work, Drag. You're even having tk say "Drag's", which is literally how third person possessive plurals work. Find another thing to draw attention.
Drag can see that you have configured Lemmy to show usernames instead of displaynames. Drag's username is dragonfucker. Drag suggests learning how to use Lemmy properly before calling people who understand the software better than you liars.
i know of two reddit clients repurposed for lemmy (boost, sync) only because i heard of their suckings
So how is it my fault that I enjoyed Boost when I was on Reddit and decided to carry forward the experience, exactly?
it's a bad lemmy client in terms of accuracy
i didn't really say that it was your fault?
Here's a relevant thread: https://lemmy.dbzer0.com/post/25502917
You shouldn't complain about not seeing displaynames after choosing an app that doesn't show displaynames. Unless you plan to complain to the developers and request the option.
it would be better if you let people know in your display name that it's your pronouns, and not, for say, a nickname

ah.
