It's surprising that the solution of simply sharing usernames between websites wasn't mentioned, so that everyone only has to get their preferred username once -- something like https://onename.com/ https://onename.com/.

So who gets it with that sort of system? How about two companies with the same name in different fields? Apple computer vs Apple records?
- cjbprime 11y agoThere'd be conflict over usernames, but the conflict would only happen once ever, instead of happening once on every new site someone wants to sign up on.
