    Mastodon users don’t want such a thing, they see things like it as potential vectors for abuse and harassment.

      And it’s very centralized approach. IMHO typing in handles is a good approach for a decentralized platform. Also scanning QR codes on a conference instead of exchanging business cards. You don’t need a seperate website for that. And noone wants to browse lemmyverse on a conference just to add someone (the issue they’re obviously trying to solve with that.)

      A small, but vocal segment of Mastodon users get very angry when someone creates any account discoverability service beyond what’s built in to Mastodon. They do not speak for everyone.
