@samhenrigold @grishka is “handle” the official user-facing term? I generally say “username” to refer to the whole thing when speaking colloquially (especially to non-techies), similar to Threads’ explanation

but I also get that be confusing when explaining the username + server part…

Screenshot of my Threads profile, with bottom sheet visible showing message:

Soon, you'll be able to follow and interact with people on other fediverse platforms, like Mastodon. They can also find you with your full username @rileytestut@threads.net.

@rileytestut We were thinking about it, and we needed a good way to refer to each part. It’s been pretty fragmented so far, so we decided “handle” has the least baggage and sounded more social than “address” (like email)

@samhenrigold yeah that makes sense, handle isn’t the worst and I agree it’s better than address at least
