I am developing a help file for a website. I need to give an example of a mastodon handle. The ideal example would be:

1. Funny
2. Someone who wouldn't mind having their handle in a screenshot (for example, a bot)
3. On mastodon.social¹

Any ideas? Originally I was just gonna write @​yaoi@​mastodon.social but then I discovered that's a real account and the person hasn't posted in some years, so maybe I shouldn't drive randos to their account

¹ girlcock.club would also potentially be acceptable

Making a service you log into with a Mastodon account. Trying to decide whether to offer, as an alternative to giving your instance, typing your address & I figure out the handle. Advantage of latter is users can't get tripped up on the "instance" terminology. Disadvantages of latter: If you enter @‍x​@​y.com but you're really logged in as @​z@‍y.com, you wind up logging in as z & maybe that's confusing. Now that I'm looking at it, I think the whole second screenshot is confusing. Idea rejected

There are browser extensions that allows one to do remote interaction without providing instance name all the time. I think they either recognize the dialog and inject instance info, or recognize the dialog and do the redirect themselves.

Former is obviously usable for you if you could convince them your thing is a valid target for that too. Latter could only be useful if you changed the authz model from "oauth via the instance" to "favourite a specific post to cast a vote".
