In the Fediverse it isn’t possible to reserve your username. I could host a server and get something like
favrion@lemmy.account
so it’s unreasonable to expect that users keep the same username across instances. Reddit is more anonymous than Facebook. The Fediverse is more anonymous than Reddit.But I do.
Then you should drop that assumption/expectation.
Why?
