People doing the u/ before the someone's fully-qualified username is such a weird thing to see.
I guess this will come sort itself out in the long run (like what format to have when talking about other users), but for now i didn’t want there to be any confusion of it being a community rather than a user, and since you can just register the same username on different instances that also kinda felt lazy not to include.
Agree that it does look a bit verbose, though
