    In frontends, I’d like to have the option to not show displaynames, or at least show real usernames next to displaynames.

    If you want to reference a user using @username@instance syntax, you need to know their username, and while the displaynames can be cute, I’ve just never seen a really compelling argument for them. I also haven’t seen anyone abusing them yet, but they seem likely to be trouble from a “trying to impersonate someone else” standpoint.
