Why doesn’t devrant show the username for rants in the home page.

You’re right, that’s a little weird

Because who said it isn't as important as what was said? Idk just pulled that out my ass.

@Stuxnet This.
@M1sf3t This.
@OmerFlame Not this.

@M1sf3t I could always figure out whenever AlexDeLarge posted, when Sukmikehok shit posted, and when one of Jase's 294848373775937 accounts posted lol

@Stuxnet smc was jase

@electrineer You sure? Damn I layed into that kid hard oof

Too be fair he was being cunty asf with that account.

Maybe it was born this way... Maybe it's maybaline...

I don't think it matters, I really like the idea that there are profiles but that's not the main thing

I haven't seen/read the reason as to why it was done but removing usernames does seem to remove the judgement and biases one would have when looking at a post from a person they know of (FB anecdotal example, me: *see Bob posted something in YRS without reading the post* Oh yet another misandrist rant...). That being said, I've seen that a numerous amount of people (namely on FB/IG) that would ignore a post the moment they see that the poster isn't in their "league" or as popular as or popular than them (I.e. elitist bias).

And it may be for the reasons @Stuxnet and @M1sf3t said.

I personally prefer it that way so it makes me more likely to click on the rant to see more details (a bit like in the YikYak days).

@M1sf3t To be honest, I have "myself" in my contacts as well for different purposes.

@M1sf3t In my case, I sometimes use it for:
- testing roles/permissions (especially when it comes to hiding channels)
- sending a quick message whenever I need to remind myself of something
- etc.
