Could you add a feature where if you hover over a user's name it shows a little window that previews their profile?

A lot of people add a fair bit to their profiles or some important detail that makes it vastly easier to remember who they are/get a feel for them/ build community... and you just never saw that on the Reddit version of the Motte because then you'd have to click on their name, go to their profile, and lose your spot 300 comments down in the thread.

I remember interacting with someone for months on the reddit version, finally thinking to click their profile... and suddenly realizing the person I was interacting with was famous, had an entire body of work, and I'd actually read their stuff but never realized it was the same person.

.

This would also incentivize people to add detail to their profiles, and make the userbase/community that much more internally familiar.

This feature already exists, it was just removed in a clumsy way by turning the username into a direct link to the profile (profile card still shows up for a split second).

Or you could just open the profile in a new tab.
