You don’t create a login for each server, you create a single account on a single server and then interact with people and posts on various servers. You don’t login to other servers because it wasn’t designed to work that way, and it isn’t necessary.
Email is a good parallel. I make an email account on ProtonMail, and so that’s where I log in to read and write emails (to other users, potentially on other servers). I can’t use that same username and password to log into GMail, because that’s a different email service provider altogether. You certainly don’t need to make multiple email accounts if you don’t want/need to.
In a way yes it’s similar to email need to know if your @gmail or @yahoo.
As for “important” people, same noteworthy as any other thing. Only extra they could do is if they are with a company could have a server that is @target @mbl or @meta (though everyone might block the latter xp)

So should we display full usernames by default? What’s going to happen when someone important, IRL, wants to interact with Lemmy?
