@Velocio
Afraid not.
There are a lot of features planned that make it unworkable as well as some already implemented that make it unworkable.
i.e. mentions, which is the whole @dancing james. See what would happen? Someone called @dancing would get your alerts.
And email, we want it to be possible for someone to PM you via email without knowing your email... dancingjames@lfgss.microcosm.app and it would create a PM on the site for you and if your settings allow it you'd get an email too, which you could reply to from your email box.
Things like that mean that usernames have to be ASCII text, and only have email safe characters.
When we import users, spaces will be replaced with an underscore.
