This is getting out of hand, now there's 2 of them

Who?
- Never heard of him.
  
  Hey, I know you!
- Username checks out,

See that guy over there? Yeah....fuck that guy.

Kbin! There are dozens of us! Dozens!!
Our boosts are our power.
- Lemmy doesn’t know about the boost.
  I don’t even know what it is but I’ll boost ya.

If a famous person wants to do an AMA with the literally dozens of us here, I suppose they can register with their name on the top few instances and then it’s up to mods to ban pranksters impersonating them elsewhere?
- There's that person going around impersonating Margot Robbie. At least there was, I haven't seen them in a while.
  People seemed to love it, and most seemed to believe it was actually her. When I called them out (because it's really fucking weird), they kind of said it was just in good fun. I'm sure she'd agree 🙄
  
  Ah yes it would perhaps rub her the wrong way…
  That user did do a good job of being in character, I thought. They would reference something like “everybody has to see my new hit film…” in a way that was over-the-top enough for to come across as a joke to me.
  Perhaps we can both at least give them kudos for providing us an early debate point on the fediverse impersonation conundrum!

Me too. I know me.
- Yeah, you'd think so. But do you really? 🤔
  
  Not me me, the other me. The lemmy me.

can someone eli5 please?
- Kbin has a questionable track record of ignoring input from its users and also going offline for a day or more at random. So I created an alt account on Lemmy.
  
  i didn't notice your username so I thought this was about some technical issue with kbin and lemmy
- Given the nature of the fediverse...
  
  ...it's easy to run into your own alt.
