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 recently switched instances, and actually made sure to update my bio on both accounts to link to each other. But like others already said, banning the @ in usernames, and showing the instance would be a great addition to help prevent things.
