Oh yeah, this is an old problem, I encountered it as far back as 20 years ago on the forums. It is solved by banning any nicknames that can be perceived as official, like admins, moderators etc. It should be clearly spelled out in the rules. Also, it should be clearly stated in the rules: these are specific people, their nicknames are moderators. Accepting similar nicknames is against the rules. Here is the official mail, official letters can come only from it. And it would be advisable to spell out clearly what “similar” means - misleading, by what criteria.

@mitchwagner, no, there are no problems, it's a friendly community. Restrictions only respect spam, content NSFW and agressive habits against other users. I think that it is a very reasonable norm. Max characters 1337. You can simply use it, logging in with your Vivaldi account which you already have.

@mottenmouse I have inquired internally.

@greenenemy, any search engine also do it. There are always crawler and spider bots from any search engine, collecting data on all sites with public access, also here in the forum. Bothing new

@cozytique welcome to the forum! It's here https://social.vivaldi.net/tags/vivaldi

Thanks for the suggestion but a) the Tangerine UI has the same scrollbar width problem b) I hate dark themes. I started looking for a good Mastodon client under Linux but it seems that many of them default to dark themes and have only screenshots of the dark themes. It seems I have to install each one of them in turn to see if a) they have a light theme b) the UI of the client fits in with my preferred XFCE theme. c) they have scrollbar issues either i) too narrow as with the web interface or ii) scrollbars that only appear if you mouse over them for a few seconds and then disappear as you approach them to click on them. Det ikke er bare bare!

@DoctorG Thank you! I reported.

@Lilianger You must have gone through the steps in the account settings on Vivaldi Social. If you're using one of the apps, it might be easier there, but in the web version it requires quite a few steps, so it's unlikely to have happened accidentally. And yes, you need to start from fresh now.

@jane-n thanks for your reply. Now it is working fine. I guess this was an end-user-issue

Thank you so much , I guess I almost fell for the ideea that hashtags are useless like on Instagram ... so those are actually used as intended , after so much overuse by comercial users and influencer wannabes I gave up on them a while ago. my bad . I'll put it to test now

@thomasp Okay, thanks for clearing that up! It seemed odd to me and the explanation in the Vivaldi Wordpress instance wasn't entirely clear that another account would be created specially for the blog (it did explain it, but that explanation is a bit convoluted), so I appreciate the Vivaldi team popping in with an explanation.

@DoctorG said in Where is the logout button in the simple interface.: @syklist Ah, ok. Seems my way of thinking lead me to the wrong trail. I like to keep people on their toes

Thanks to the Vivaldi Team for sorting out this issue.
