You could briefly name him Prince and change his name to Prints, to achieve a maximum ‘formerly known as’ score.

Keep in mind that they can be pressured by others into doing something they don’t necessarily “want” to do. Making your intentions clear can be useful.

A central principal of the fediverse is decentralization, and to that end, it’s healthier to spread the users across many instances than to have folks concentrated too heavily on any one.

It’s certainly healthier for the whole to have users spread across instances, but that’s a matter of emergence.

This is important. School-grade glue is only suitable for unsophisticated paletes, such as a child’s.

Urban Dead was what came to mind for me too! That was going to be my rebuttal to the comments saying “The only reason to limit stuff is paywall.” Kids these days can’t imagine life in the Internet’s “make some shit just because it’s cool — if it gets too popular we’ll sell t-shirts” era.
