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...

@b was talking about this this am. too-much-tech solution would be to use keybase to prove your mastodon identity, rather than the other way around...

but we have the same problem with email addresses tbh so maybe people getting used to seeing the second `@` is what is needed?
