I’m not totally sure what display names are. I did see an option in settings, but I also saw someone mention the option didn’t change anything for them. The up and down votes is a good question. I do like that about Lemmy, I would expect it to be included at some point, but I couldn’t guess when. The review in the options goes to the developer only, so it’s a good place to mention what is important to you. I’ve mostly been basking in the golden rays of app familiarity. The beta is far ahead of the established Lemmy apps in my opinion, just as it was for Reddit.
It’s a difficult thing to prove without a whistle blower fairly high up in Israeli intelligence. What does look very suspicious is one of the most advanced intelligence agencies in the world “missed it”, and it took one of the most well funded and constantly present in the area militaries 8 hours to respond.
Israel has had a major PR problem as more and more people view Palestinians as people who also deserve to be alive. Letting a terrorist group in that region attack undefended is a way for Israel to play the victim as they respond by taking more land homes and lives.
