Yeah, you should disable this feature in your client. Spammers use that data too, to determine if the address is active, can be spammed more.

Holy shit how can you read that? For a minute I thought the text was encoded until maybe I clicked a button, then I thought it might be Arabic, now I see that's it's English but I can't even make out all the letters. No thanks.
Did you maybe accidentally turn on the "drunk" mode at the top?
It does seem like what I'm seeing would be someone's idea/joke of a drunk mode, but it's how the page loads for me - I didn't click anything. And I can't read the buttons to see if one days "turn off drunk mode".
You can switch the themes right below the socials and the profile picture. I have no idea what happened, because when I load the site, it's loading in dark mode. It's definitely the drunk mode, though that button is off-screen
Weird, it didn't activate it by default for me. But it's just one of the themes at the top. Just click "Dark" or something and it'll switch to that.
He's tracking fedi too. Guess that's a +1 from me on that stat.
