slipstream/RoL⚡ is a user on mastodon.social. You can follow them or interact with them if you have an account anywhere in the fediverse.
If you don't, you can sign up here.
One thing I don't get: Can you claim your identity across all Mastodon servers? Or can someone just claim my user name on a different server?
@stanschroeder Anybody could get "your" username on a different server. There are no restrictions on that, unless you go and register on all of them :smile:
@saturno Thanks. I figured the same thing. It's a pretty big issue. There needs to be some sort of centralized way to get your username confirmed across multiple instances. IRC has this solved, for example.
It doesn't have to be all inclusive. An instance could, for example, opt out of that.
@stanschroeder How does IRC have this solved, exactly?
