Maybe I’m just feeling nostalgic for forums. Maybe it would clutter up the comments. What do you all think?
Absolutely!

I think there’s enough noise on the web without bringing back post signatures
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 😅
Back in the day I made those anime screenshot banners for friends… equal parts cringe as much as awesome.
I’m glad the internet moved away from that, it’s 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.
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.
not a bad idea

I really want those cute animated emojis back. Like the yellow and purple one high fiving
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 :-\
You can already add whatever info you want to your profile.
Signatures are just clutter.
No
No
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 it‘s a thing.
Maybe there even already is a forum with signatures actually which can also see lemmy content, might be worth searching for.
As long as there was a profile option to hide other users’ signatures then I’d be fine with it.
