I really like that you can hide scores on posts and comments altogether. I don’t like seeing the upvotes or downvotes. I don’t want to base my opinion on a comment or post on what other people have felt about it, and so just not seeing their reaction to it at all helps prevent that. I don’t think popularity is necessarily a useful factor to consider in judging a post or comment. This is one complaint I have about the Jerboa app right now, is that it doesn’t respect the Hide Scores preference.

That doesn’t make sense. If it was my browser cache it should (a) show my username, and (b) show the same username every time. I did do forced refreshes (without browser cache), as well as used an incognito window (where the same exact behavior happened).

Good idea. I gave that a go, and yeah, I’m actually getting random usernames even in incognito.

Mine’s consistently either: showing a random person’s username, or showing “Login / Sign Up”. I haven’t gotten that specific URL to show my username since I posted this.
