I dunno “About the author” looks really annoying to me. It triggers ~disgust for “unwarranted status/authority projection” social games associated with some other outlets. It’s fine to say that you are experts and think X, Y, and Z (but your reasons should be good still); it’s also fine to have a friendly oneliner to remind a reader who the author is. But having all your bio recalled after each post is a bit “meh”.
Unfortunately, it seems there is no way to hide it in Account Settings > Site Customizations. If anyone is in my shoes, I killed it with the uBlock origin element picker.
Thanks for the feedback! This feature was an experiment, and based on the results we’ve decided to remove it from the forum. We might redesign it and run a follow-up experiment in the future, so if you have other thoughts on it we’d be interested to hear them.
