okay look
#mastodev, there needs to be a brainstorm on something:
a lot of users are concerned about cross-instance users using their username and impersonating them

what would be a good and userfriendly way to fix this?
gnu social doesn't even have a fix for this yet, it seems, so...

people are misinterpreting the issue
*verification* doesn't matter rn
*impersonation* is the issue here
i want two users with the same username and the same avatar to still be identifiable as different people
(same username and same avatar but different instances, mind you)
