Quick question about usernames. (beehaw.org)

I've noticed that when browsing through threads, some users have the @ prefix, while others don't, despite both being members of this instance.

What's the reason for that? Is it something to do with the "Display name" option in the settings?

looks like you need to know their username; display name is just cosmetic.
