Nikki Bradley is a user on octodon.social. You can follow them or interact with them if you have an account anywhere in the fediverse.
If you don't, you can sign up here.
If there is no global username then that is a major flaw
@princessfluffy your global username is princessfluffy@octodon.social
So people on other instances would need to follow you using that user name. My understanding is you can not use that to login on other instances.
@chad But anyone can register the same username on a different instance - how many people will look at the @ extension to see that it is different - for many users this would be confusing
@chad @princessfluffy and who doesn't miss the glory days of IRC?
@oneoffsuit @princessfluffy For real. IRC was one of the things that brought me to learning more about computers and the internet.
@princessfluffy yeah it took me some time to figure it out. That is a downfall to a decentralized social network. It's more like IRC than a typical social network on that front.
