I'm thinking about how emails ended up becoming. Where our first email addresses were so wacky, and slowly we just wanted out real names.

I think if we get to the point that we need professional accounts that will happen. Like, say the US Government finally gets fed up with Twitter and establishes a mastodon so that the Dept of the Interior can talk to the public again. Maybe some people will have official mastodon accounts on that server, and use their real names.

The way I'd imagine official instance accounts working is the governments launching their own .gov instance and restricting accounts to only verified government officials, or corporations doing the same thing on their own official domains. Then their posts are federated to whoever wants to see them (or people can just go to the instance).
