For the record, I noticed because I use Friendica:
Jeroba only flips the instance domain, that is way more wild
No issues in Thunder.
I have display names turned off, though.
It's probably in the display name, not the username so that would make sense. Would be interesting to know what happens if display names are on
Turns out it looks the same. Wait, something is still wrong. I turned the setting on, but I still don't see display names. Oh well.
Yay I am in screenshot
What's it like being famous? 🤩
Meh

Voyager just ignores it
Voyager shows username, he probably changed display name
Funnily enough, it is correctly escaped in the client he developed, Photon
it actually isnt intentional that it works fine, it's some miracle of how i split the instance name and the username in markup. i was a little disappointed that nothing funny happened when i added that initially
Call me unsurprised if @Xylight added it as a way to test for rendering errors across Fediverse clients
Same with voyager
Nice
