One of the unexpected joys of the fediverse over other places is the addition of weird domains appended on to everyone's usernames.
It makes the web feel like more than just four websites again.
It's both a signal of a smaller more intimate internet and also a larger and far more diverse internet at the same time!

@JacksonBates i feel it's like your family name. Basically tells what is your "tribe", where are you from
It's nice indeed

@JacksonBates not only that, but some instances are wildly diverse (and wonderfully strange) places. I heard about dolphin.town yesterday where you are only allowed to post using the letter "e". So, every post looks like it is being written by dolphins...
Eeee ee eeeee. Eeeeeeee! Eeee, eeeeeee eeee eeeee.
The instance admin reported that even that niche instance has seen a noticeable increase in interest and activity in the last week.

@JacksonBates Unfortunately, most people don't think about which suffix to use (for instance, they use .social, one of the worst for domain owners protection) https://www.eff.org/wp/which-internet-registries-offer-best-protection-domain-owners
