Can't log in on mobile website?

I've been trying to log in on the mobile website off and on all day, but it hasn't worked even once - I just get the little loading circle spinning and it hangs there forever. (This is on Firefox Nightly, if it matters.) I can still view beehaw posts and comments while logged out a-okay, I just can't log in for some reason.

Meanwhile, my account is still working perfectly on the Jerboa app, which I used to make this post.

Anyone else running into this issue?

Is there a clear way to distinguish between people with identical display names?

I love that we can have screen names as well as the unique account username, but I'm wondering: if I look at a comment thread containing two people using the same display name (in the worst case, where one is trying to impersonate the other) is there a clear indicator to see that Person A is not Person B?

In discord this used to be done with the four digit number after the display name, but that doesn't seem to be a thing here, and so far as I can tell it's not displaying my account name on my comments and posts.

I worry that, as Lemmy grows, perhaps an issue with impersonators could develop if distinguishing between different users with the same display name requires checking their account pages, since most people won't check. But maybe I'm missing something?

To be clear, I'm not remotely arguing for getting rid of the display names. I love the display names, keep the display names. Especially when I'm just imagining a hypothetical future problem that may not even turn out to be much of a problem.

Deer are deeply unappreciated.

They're so beautiful but people don't look at them really when they're used to them, I guess. But just watch the way deer move. They're incredible.

Also fawns are cute.

I will make this random opinion post 'educational' by adding that deer are ungulates, and that only female reindeer keep their antlers in the winter. This last point may depend on the species of reindeer though, I'm not sure.

On a not really related note, how tf do bighorn sheep and/or goats balance so confidently when they climb cliffsides. I will have to google this later.
