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 have a feeling you can register on any server with the same name, and it's the combination of the two that makes it unique. Therefore, impersonations will be rampant unless there is a way to uniquely identify someone from the same server. As it is, the names are cut off and you can't see which server they are posting from. https://social.tchncs.de/media/9tziUrYbWDAEbCWZfW4

@tomcoates @mathowie That is so important.
