I mean, pretending to be someone in another instance, “stealing” the username, is trivial. I see the more likely targets being instance admins or high profile users. Should we worry somewhat about this?

    I feel like they could solve it by adding instance only when another user with similar name is present in the comment section. It would make it clear that a duplicate username is present without changing a lot for a majority of lemmy-commenr sections.
