One of the constraints of GNU Social is that you shouldn't have two identical usernames on two separate instances. I did that and I don't know how to fix it.

Mastodon have the same problem.

What do you mean by "problem"? Email has the same "problem".

You can address them differently if you add the server like this @[e-mail] @[e-mail], at least on gnusocial

Mind elaborating what problems are you facing now?
