A hope of mine is to one day have accounts without permanent usernames.
When you delete an account they keep your username "When you delete an account they keep your ****name".
There has to be an alternative to usernames, something not so permanent, any ideas?

That usernames could one day be reusable, erasable, irrelevant is my hope, Decentralized Identifiers (DID) with DID usernames won’t matter, identity won’t be permanent, deletion will be real, platforms will let people start over, a full 100% deletion usernames included.

The fact that every platform hoards dead usernames like dragons hoarding gold while technically they could just map "Coleman" → "user_8374829" internally? It's deliberate digital imprisonment. They want you trapped in their graveyard of identities.

I don't use Steam due to a username problem.
I accidentally made 2 Steam accounts, I got Steam to delete the second account & put the username back into circulation.
Can't they just tag people who make accounts? Account deletion is not full deletion.

What I like about BS (BlueSky) is the free usernames I'm not sure how it does it but other social media sites can learn from this. Usernames are saved to prevent mimicry, but what if there's another way? A way that keeps all the info needed yet frees all usernames.

Why doesn’t Bluesky allow for diacritical letters or other scripts in usernames? This is very problematic and Western-centric. It excludes indigenous peoples outside of the Anglo-sphere from expressing themselves culturally.
