Because let’s say you’re Tom Hanks. And you get TomHanks@Lemmy.World
Well, what’s stopping someone else from adopting TomHanks@Lemm.ee?
And some platforms minimize the text size of platform, or hide it entirely. So you just might see TomHanks, and think it’s him. But it’s actually a 7 year old Chinese boy with a broken leg in Arizona.
Because anyone can grab the same name, on a different platform.
Either way, celebrities will probably never use Lemmy or other social media unless it goes mainstream.
Photoshop exists.
Don’t be silly. Tom Hanks have no idea how to use Photoshop…
Yeah, thats the goal. To make the fediverse (and Lemmy by assosiation) mainstream.
