There’s no one answer fits all.
On life? Never. On your goals? Depends. On self-destructive behaviour? Now. On those you love? Never. On business ventures that don’t take off? You tell me.
Point is: life is rarely black & white. Treat it with the color and nuance that makes it what it is.
I understand your take and respect it. However, this is the feature I was hoping Voyager would “fix.” Unfortunately, this means it’s time for me to move to a different client, which is sad because Voyager is a great client.
To explain: Since every other client and interface (as far as I know) uses the display name, it becomes confusing when I post under a different name every time I use Voyager. Like it or not, Lemmy has the display name feature, and it is used. You don’t like it for solid reasons, and that’s more than okay. This just makes Voyager not a full client for Lemmy, but an opinionated interface. Instead of implementing your opinion on what Lemmy should or should not do, why not move that discussion to Lemmy itself where these decisions should be made and leave the client to be just that - a client?
It’s your client, of course, so you can do what you want, and I respect that. I don’t want to use such a client, though. So why not make the display name optional as it is everywhere else?
Other clients have their own opinions, of course, but that’s another discussion.
Additionally, I agree that impersonation can be an issue. Still, just because Voyager doesn’t use the display name doesn’t make the rest of Lemmy much safer. Eventually, we might need proper verification on Lemmy and then give color-coded badges or something of the sort.
Other considerations: One, as you said, display names make for better user customization.
Two, hypothetically, instead of ignoring the display name and replacing it with flair, why not have both? Display names can provide personal identifiers, while flairs can add context-specific information like roles or achievements within a community. But as I said earlier, such points are better discussed on Lemmy itself, not Voyager.
Finally: you made an awesome client! I used it for long. Not for posting due to this matter, but it offers a superior browsing experience. Well done!
What are you talking about?
Science isn’t about WHY! It’s about WHY NOT! In fact, why not invent a special safety door that won’t hit you in the butt on the way out because you’re fired.

I completely agree with you, ever since my dentist strongly encouraged me to floss, I feel disgusting when I don’t do it and can only shake my head at my previous ignorance, thinking that mouthwash is good enough (that’s rubbish!).
The only thing I don’t agree with is the use of the plastic helpers. I don’t think I need to contribute to plastic pollution for a tiny bit of comfort. I got used to the regular floss within two or three days.

They could use some more engagement, but they’re a pleasant bunch. AFAIK.
I hope there’s no implication in there that it is ok to drink before your early twenties. But just in case: it’s a really bad choice in life! https://www.health.harvard.edu/blog/alcohol-harms-the-brain-in-teen-years-before-and-after-that-too-2021011521758
I’m not a lot of people. Just saying.
Dental floss, man. Dental floss.
I agree. [email protected] is a pleasant exception.
Thank you for asking.
In my particular use case we need strict access control.
Really depends on the situation.

Why else?
I’ve found that some people use Linux just to be apart of the “cool tech kids” on the internet. They don’t understand how to use a CLI…
I hope that’s true. If Linux has come this far to make PC life possible for the cool kids, I say welcome to each and every one of them.
No worries. Took me a moment as well. 🤪
Better late than never. Great move.

On top of you advice: IMO if the tap water is safe for drinking, use that and don’t buy bottled water at all. No need to add to the plastic problem. Also: it’s usually cheaper.
Sure, life can be incredibly tough, and it’s understandable to feel overwhelmed at times. However, unlike a painting, life isn’t a static object. It has ups and downs, and even when things seem completely ruined, there’s always potential for change, growth and even thriving. I actually have a little experience with that.
Staying with your analogy: if you spill ink on a painting, you might see it as ruined at first. But some artists use those accidents to create something new and beautiful. Like so, life can take unexpected turns, and what seems like a disaster now might lead to new opportunities. I am the person I am partly due to troubles and disasters in my life. Could I do without those? Sure. Should I? Not sure.
That all said, if you’re feeling like ending it all I can only encourage you to reach out for support. Talking to friends, family, or a mental health professional in your area can make a big difference.
Your life is valuable. You are important and valuable.
You’re not alone. Definitely not with life. There are people who care about you and want to help.
