A small but big thing: every profile UX on the open social web should copy : Show the full handle w/ domain plus a “Copy” button in account details. None do now—Mastodon, Bluesky, PixelFed, etc. Only Threads does, and it’s a must-have.
A description of the Fediverse is provided, explaining user connectivity across servers, along with a username for sharing within the network.

@tchambers Mastodon currently does the opposite: makes it gratuitously difficult to copy the full account name, by stylizing the instance name as a separate field in a way that prevents highlighting the whole thing. 🤬

@dalias @tchambers in its defense, you can click the instance name and it opens a dialog where you can easily copy the full username

@kitten @tchambers Oh wow. That is very useful but totally unintuitive and non-discoverable (no indication the instance name is clickable). 🤬

UI folks these days are on crack. 🤦
