Comment on On an open source platform, I'm supposed to be able to change my username/display name, right ?

For example, I can change my username here on this instance.
Wrong, you can change your display name, but your username must remain the same. If your username is changed by an admin it brakes federation for your account and your posts and comments will only be visible on your local instance.

So what you see is my username or my display name ?

The app I use shows your user name, but if I go to your profile I see both.

Okay, so they’re the same or different ?
