I made my account on kbin a few days ago and folks are already tagging me by mistake when they meant to tag someone else. I’m getting roped into fierce arguments about city infrastructure, for some reason

    @owen The one drawback to Federation. It’s hard for “owen23453” to get confused for “realpersonowen”, but it’s real easy for one “owen” to get confused with another “owen” when people aren’t paying attention to the instance you’re on :(

      @GeekFTW Right, I’m not angry; it’s amusing if anything. Interesting how it’s hard to shake the habits from centralized social medias like Twitter. Over there a name like “owen” is sought after, here anyone can have it if they host their own instance
