So should we display full usernames by default? What's going to happen when someone important, IRL, wants to interact with Lemmy?
In a way yes it's similar to email need to know if your @gmail or @yahoo.
As for "important" people, same noteworthy as any other thing. Only extra they could do is if they are with a company could have a server that is @target @mbl or @meta (though everyone might block the latter xp)
When you put it that way, fediverse is probably better for official companies. I suppose that’s what bluesky was doing with their protocol too
