If an account is created on any specific server, like !Lemmy.world does that mean if the server does shut down, the account data is lost?
Also for username availability, could we create an account in a different server where the name is not used yet?
I feel like it makes it easier for someone to mimic/impersonate another user. How do you know if that user is the actual user? I know you can open their profile but it’d be inconvenient especially in an active conversation.
This could lead to misunderstanding and even security risks.
You know what? You are absolutely right! Nothing is stopping someone from using the exact same display name, and posting a response as if they were the original poster. Hmm… 🤔
Don’t worry guys I checked it out it’s the same slashzero 😉
