I wonder why no social media platform uses seed phrases as usernames. It would be much easier to remember and communicate off-line.

- mvdtnz 3y agoWhat do you mean by "seed phrases"? Do you just mean "plain English words"? Lots of people do.
- Laaas 3y agoFixed my sentence. I meant it as in, the internal username ID being derived the same way public keys are derived from seed phrases. Internally it would be a simple number, but it would correspond to a seed phrase composed of "plain English words" from a small dictionary selected such that words that are easy to mistake for others words are not included.
