@vyr At no point was the removal of custom emojis in display names announced. It was brought up as a potential solution to the problem of phishing in the form of a question dependent on community response.

@Gargron thanks for clearing that up. i'll edit the post with a link down here.

kind of a weird take that Mastodon doesn't benefit from admins though.

@Gargron I think community response has been rather bad on this extreme approach. The full richness of Unicode is an important part of community interaction.

A stricter Unicode filter would be time consuming to perfect, but it would do much more to balance trust expectations with individual freedom of expression. That being said, Twitter has burned enough of the trust that I'm not convinced there's much value in spoofing a checkbox.

@Gargron

What to say, this is probably the worst smear campaign I have seen for now and I can't say that I'm sorry because people like
@vyr exist cause it's not our fault that they are as they are.

The only thing I would like to ask you is to not even answer this kind of "sh**". It's your precious time and your life and it's up to you in what to invest it.

Give them "cookies" by paying attention and they will never let you go.

Please!
Just ignore and go on, as hard as it is.

@Gargron @vyr That's good to know. I was getting worried that custom emojis wouldn't be allowed any more in the name. Thanks for clarifying

@Gargron @vyr Thanks for clearing things up! With the context your response makes quite a lot more sense
