Sorry for unclear expression, I mean click the copy link button in post.
For example:
https://v236xhqtyullodhf26szyjepvkbv6iitrhjgrqj4avaoukebkk6n6syd.onion/t/tor-in-russia-a-call-for-more-webtunnel-bridges/16021?u=5oj0mzdrareo
As such link expose the sharer user name not the poster user name.

I don’t like this “feature” as well.
However, it looks like scenarios, where it can cause harm, are rare.
Users, who have different nicknames in different chats and forums, are in danger:
If User2 posts link at Forum2 to Forum1 with ?u=User1, it is not hard to connect these usernames.

you can just remove that part - including the question mark and everything following…

uuuugh … sorry, I misunderstood. Yes, this is annoying and in fact the only permalink I have ever seen do it - @lavamind is there a setting in gitlab that disables this
