    What happens if you put whatever you want in there?

    Or start your own instance? Or join an instance that doesn’t care?

      I guess at worse they would ban you. It’s a closed off system though, so you can’t even check whether people frequently use (obvious) fake names or not.

      Edit: Small correction. You can actually see some users and their names in the Discovery tab, some with obvious non real names. I’m guessing it depends on your instance whether how much they care about it.

        i doubt you’ll get banned lol, it’s probably not that deep to the admins.

        if anyone is concerned about it, just open the instance ToS and ctrl+f “name”. im sure it’s not important.
