When this community makes more shitposts out of a 60-second advert than a full-length feature film
MRW I get a notification that the three-month waiting period is over and Section 31 memes are free game
Something incredibly stupid that came to mind the last time I watched this episode. You're welcome
That's the problem. If there was a well-known user named "foobar@lemmy.world" and that instance went down, that would be a perfect opportunity for some other random person to create an account named "foobar@sh.itjust.works" and claim to be their alt account that they are using while their main account is unusable. As we can see from this thread, genuine users definitely do use alts on different instances to deal with downtimes like this, so that is a plausible cover for an impersonator.
