Pretty sure Van Gogh wasn't deaf in that ear though.

Things probably sounded weird there though. Lots of whooshing.

Definitely. A piercing in my conch, was enough to give me some mildly annoying tinnitus for years.

Can't imagine if my ear was just...gone.

He only took off a small portion of his ear.

I'm viewing this through the Liftoff app and your username has big block letters and a blue circle for the O but looks normal when viewed from other apps. Is that some customization you can do that only shows up if an app supports it?

It's Unicode and emojis in the display name. Some instances don't have a display name, just the username.

I think in your user profile settings, you can set a separate display name. Then it’s up to the client on how to render your username/displayname.
