The main reason Nostr users bridged to AP can’t have better usernames is because of this: https://socialhub.activitypub.rocks/t/changeable-usernames/830/9

1. Domain not in remote thumbnail source whitelist: socialhub.activitypub.rocks
  
  Changeable usernames?
  
  In theory, nothing prevents you from changing usernames. However, doing this is not compatible with Mastodon. Indeed, Mastodon uses the username + domain pair (the acct: URI, really) as the authoritative identifier, not the ActivityPub id. This pre-dates ActivityPub and it’s one of my main gripes with Mastodon, but unfortunately it’s unlikely to ever get better, as it is too deeply ingrained in both its UX and database design…

  We could do things in Soapbox to make the experience better. But the bridge should be compatible with Mastodon.

  @alex so it's John Mastodong's fault I have to stick with the @ I made on a whim thinking I wouldn't use the account, instead of just changing my @ like on any other website. Thank you John Mastodong I will blame all my problems on you

  @kj00 @alex Alex is on such good terms with the mastodon folks, I'm sure he can write a rename protocl that goes out to all the followers and updates.
