Celebrities will never adopt the Fediverse until usernames are centralized.
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.

I'm actually flattered that I have this... reputation on Lemmy lol.
Personally, I don't care if celebrities come and join, even Taylor. Honestly that's one of the reasons I'm okay with threads starting to federate, I see celebrities joining there and then we can sub from our instances. Best of both worlds imo.
Well, I've been following your work on your instance for a while, so I thought about you.
Thank you for your comment!
@rglullis@communick.news, one instance admin okay to federate with Threads!
