Usernames in the Fedivers 😫

Why can you never change your username in Mastodon, Lemmy or Peertube? Is it a condition introduced by ActivityPub or a forgotten feature?

You're pretty much asking "why can't I change my email"

You can make a new one if you want.

And what's wrong with asking that? Plenty of email platforms let you change your primary SMTP address and/or add/remove aliases.

It's a legitimate question. And it could be that the lack of ability to change it has a perfectly logical answer. It still wouldn't invalidate the question.
