I opened lemmy to procrastinate working on my web game and this is the first post I see.

I can take a hint internet.

I'm sure you get asked this a lot, but why is your username backwards?

For fun I put a RTLO char in my display username and wrote it backwards to see what clients it can break. The answer is a lot.

Funny, Connect for one shows it as redirtSdeR in comments, but on the profile it shows RedStrider... Which way around is it actually written?
