Chat, it has come to my attention - the almighty @computer - that some of y'all are sick with the disease called "no emoji worky in display name"

Be joyed! This disease is curable! It is a leftover from our dark times with the previous shrimped of ice, where the format our feeble bios and display names was stored in was but a mere small shrimp, and now it is much more stronger (and shrimpier)

All you need to do to fix this issue, to cure this disease, is to update your bio once, this doesn't have to be your display name, and can only be a single comma or space in your bio.

Here's the settings page; mastodon.hermitcollective.net/settings/profile

After this, your display name should work again, and you will be free from this nightmare of no-emoji-only-text.

Truly, a reminder of the horrors before our modern internet.
