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?

    That’s just a Lemmy client configuration matter, not an issue with Lemmy or fediverse itself.

      To an extent that’s true, but the standard web UI has this issue. It should not be like this in the standard configuration.

        It’s open source so just open an issue about it if there already isn’t one.
