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?

    This isn’t about compromised accounts though. I could just create an account, give it the display name “Granixo” and your profile picture. It would look exactly like your account unless people actually click the profile or look at the profile URL.
