don't understand the imposter concerns with mastodon.
literally, that's how the internet is. people could register pnathan@ for every dang email provider out there.
it almost feels like a litmus test for "people who don't understand technology".
but maybe I'm just tired and cranky. (which is true)
@pnathan Nick collision is a known problem with IRC; why repeat the same mistake here? There's no reason not to have a blockchain like username registration in place in the network; federation doesn't prevent the problem from being solved.
@andschwa I have profound skepticism about the use of blockchain for *anything* to be honest.
@pnathan I did say "blockchain like" :P What I'm getting at is that the problem is tractable, and we've already encountered it before. Why not solve it instead of repeat the same mistake?
