I'm in Canada, albeit one of the more stupid, redneck provinces (Alberta) and whenever Justin Trudeau's social media team posts to Instagram, the right-winger kooky homophobes like to come and scream for the sake of screaming.
On a recent one where Trudeau was supporting drag queens and the LGBT crowd, a man was screaming and crying about drag queens being "groomers" (again, it's the right-wingers that are the ones molesting children) and said that drag queens and the "gays" just like to "expose themselves to strangers" as a "kink".
The irony? His profile photo is him laying on his back and exposing his bare ass. He's exposing himself more than any drag queen would, while losing his mind about drag queens.
But I don't think it matters - a unique username is only special when we're on a singular centralized server where usernames have to be unique. When a good chunk of the content is being viewed back and forth across many different server instances, everybody is seeing a lot of everyone else's names with "username@instance-domain", which kind of is the "unnecessary underscores or numbers" because the host server is what makes our usernames unique.
If anything, our usernames mean even less than they did before, and that's OK!
