Is "identity" the proper term?

I never heard or used the term when joining the Fediverse.

I have only used words like "mention" or "handle", does anyone agree me with me here or is an alternative possible?

Hm, good question. Personally I'd consider a handle just to be the @...@... and an identity to be the whole profile, but you're right, I haven't seen the word used by any Fediverse software either.

So maybe we should rewrite it to:

The handle is the unique adress under which your profile is found. The profile is hosted on one of many servers, also called instances.
