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?

Instance is shown if it’s different to the one you’re on. I can see your instance is vlemmy.net
Not if they set a display name. Many of the mobile apps are also bad about it even without a display name.
that’s true, but currently people can set their display name to anything, for example, i could set my display name to @[email protected]
we could all set that as our display name.
Ah, ok
