    Just came here from reddit, so I’m not sure if this is the best place to post this but anyway… Usernames when logging in are case sensitive. This should not be the case because
    #1 it’s very confusing (I could not figure out why my password was constantly wrong even after resetting it, until i remembered some comment from someone on reddit about case sensitive login issues on some website and tried changing the first letter of my username to lowercase, then it finally worked). I haven’t seen any other website work like this.
    #2 you’re basically allowing people to impersonate others if user account creation thinks usernames with different capitalization are unique names.

    Btw, there should be an “Add comment” or “Reply” button up top on the post. At first i thought the thread was locked since there wasn’t a reply button, but then i remembered some old forums put it at the bottom of the page, so i scrolled to the bottom, still no reply button. I had to scroll back up through like 4 screens worth of useless footer clutter before i finally found a comment area. This is going to decrease engagement and growth. (I’m on mobile btw). I even tapped on the + button on top to try to add a comment but there was no option. Same with the More button on the post (though it shouldn’t be hidden in a More menu since it’s a core feature).
