@keithpp @CobaltVelvet I don't think it's any more fatal than the fact there are lots of John Smiths in one town or another. At least here there is only one per town (instance). People deal with that fine in real life, why not online. This also remove the feeling we need to have a globally unique handle for everyone to know us. That's not feasible with 7 billion people. When you see post from the truncated name you can then click their id to see the instance. It's a natural thing to me.
@rateldajer @CobaltVelvet Please read and comprehend. I actually address what yoiu say re many with the name John Smith. But if we have an ID on this network, eg @keithpp and no one is going to look beyond that, then it has to be unique across the network as @keithpp not required where registered. It may be a natural thing for techies, not for the average user.
@keithpp @rateldajer "That is why I am recommending network is suspended until this is fixed." It technically cannot be fixed, the only solution is to get over it, just like we did with email.
Do you have unique id over email? Of course not. Still, it's not even considered a problem. It's a feature.
