I think there's enough noise on the web without bringing back post signatures
Did that really need to be said?
ugh. no. please no.
Maybe a blurb on your user page? Show it in a hover? But not on every fckin comment.
no

Yeah, it's just nostalgia. Signatures are dumb.
The irrationally nostalgic part of me loves this idea.
The rest of me not so much ๐
Back in the day I made those anime screenshot banners for friendsโฆ equal parts cringe as much as awesome.
Iโm glad the internet moved away from that, itโs a lot of bloat.
Those banners were sick, the people who could make them were always so popular lol. I remember doing favors for someone in exchange for a custom banner on a forum I used as a kid dedicated to Line Rider.
not a bad idea

They were kinda fun. Can always fo it as an option you have to turn on to see them. I think custom profile pages should be a thing though, why not.
They were a borderline necessity on Usenet because there was no protocol linking profiles, just name+email headers. Examples of large ASCII signatures: http://linuxmafia.com/~rick/afw/
After that it became more dubious.
Tryin to make a change :-\
Not for me, but with how this whole fediverse works I think it would be technically possible to fork Lemmy/kbin/whatever and add that feature and then spin up an instance for yourself where itโs a thing.
Maybe there even already is a forum with signatures actually which can also see lemmy content, might be worth searching for.
I think it shouldn't be too difficult to make an extension or something that gathers user's descriptions (if filled in) and displays it underneath their posts for people who like that ๐ค Not a big fan personally, but I can see the appeal
Signatures are absolutely delightful and a part of me misses them too, but I also agree that they decrease the signal to noise ratio on any given page. We want more signal, less noise.
No
No
I really want those cute animated emojis back. Like the yellow and purple one high fiving
You can already add whatever info you want to your profile.
Signatures are just clutter.
As long as there was a profile option to hide other users' signatures then I'd be fine with it.
