The checking of existing telegram handles and github usernames seems to be case insensitive even though they may be valid and different. This could prevent the user from inputting people with similar usernames.

Telegram and Github usernames are inherently case insensitive. Therefore it does not make sense for them to be equal. For example, https://t.me/johndoe and https://t.me/JOHNDOE lead to the same profile. Similarly for github, https://github.com/johndoe and https://github.com/JOHNDOE leads to the same profile.
