QuinnyCoded is the OP of this thread. I’m guessing your client indicates this with the white box.

The person QuinnyCoded replied to (aeharding) is probably a mod (I’m guessing?), making their name show up blue in their client.

Update: I figured out that @aeharding@vger.social is the dev for Voyager, the lemmy client modeled after the Reddit app “Apollo”. So their name shows up kind of purple/blue in the Voyager app (which is my preferred client as well!).

No judgement intended, and I agree! Trust me when I say that I have an unhealthy amount of money “invested” in headphones and amplifiers. I saw way too much of myself in both sides of that comments thread to not laugh.

This sequence of comments has me cracking up.

“I need a thing to make suckers out of morons”

…

“You should sell them audiophile shit”

…

“Well… some audiophile shit is ok… up to point… after that, you’re def a sucker!”

…

“Actually… you’re not a sucker at all if you spend a bunch of money on this shit. Here, take my money!”
