It seems like you're right about facebook, thought I'm not going to attempt to verify it. An email alias is not the same as changing your email address as your change is not propagated to my address book as far as I know.

How will this help. I assume once mjd in a remote database, changing it to mjd2 will not effect the remote database. #ButWhatDoIKnow

Thanks for the explanation. That a nickname can be disassociated from a user id just seems wrong.
-
You shouldn't change your nick. Your nick is you identity. I recognize you as theru, not <some_number>. In fact, discovery is based on nick@server, not <some_number>@server
-
Well, I haven't tested <some_number>@server, so I could be wrong. Still humans prefer words over numbers.
-
Billions of google, facebook, and twitter users, not to mention many other services, seem to disagree with your implication. Do you have an email account? Can you change your "nick"?
-
Still, I find this foolish. This "hack" is why we humans don't deal with numbers, they hard to process https://lkml.org/lkml/2016/8/15/445

However with facebook, you would have to legally change your name in order to change your user name. I doubt they check because I use a nom de plume. @theru https://www.facebook.com/help/159096464162185
