Aren't all usernames are contextual? When I see a screenshot of a tweet, I assume the username and mentions are on twitter and may or may not carry over to other services. If I saw a screenshot of your message in here on hn, I would assume that wahnfrieden is your hn identifier. How is this any different?
Each app/server has the power to display the data however they want. We're talking specifically about how tent.is should displays microblogging messages. On tent.is the full user identifier (with the site URL) is visible above each post, so they could safely to truncate tent.is identifiers to make mentions more readable. A different server or app could find a different solution.
