The difference is that ActivityPub clients currently only display the username part and hide the host for some reason. This can lead to confusion, I don’t get why the full address isn’t displayed by default.


I get that, I’ve been “SoNick” or some variation of it for a few decades now. However, a friend of mine uses different - but thematically similar - usernames for different services, when I asked her about it she explained that as a girl on the internet she has attracted more than a few stalkers; changing up the username makes it harder for them to find her on different services.
