How does this system handle unique usernames? It seems like a flaw in the system if other people can take unique-seeming usernames on other servers. Will this network be overrun with impersonators?
@mathowie I was under the impression that these names were universal across all servers
@eli I think it's like email, so anyone could be eli@another.server and your friends will just have to find the right person.
@mathowie yeah that will probably create some problems
