There are a bunch of services like this out there.

One unfortunate unintended consequence of these is that people from Twitter often get the impression that Mastodon is full of impersonator accounts!

Try a search for "web3isgreat" on any popular instance to see an example of the problem - here's a screenshot: https://fedi.simonwillison.net/@simon/109835687372186227

It's not a huge deal, but I've certainly seen people get upset because they don't understand Mastodon yet and they think it's already full of people impersonating them.
