Wow, things have changed since I last posted in /c/fediverse. Here are the top five most active instances based on monthly active users:

Oh goody. There’s a [email protected] and it’s not me. And it’s using one of my older profile pictures.
EDIT: 2023/8/29 update – I posted to the lemm.ee support community and the admins decided to disable the account. Well done!
Uhhhhh. Yeah this was always something I was worried about with multiple instances. Having multiple usernames run my different people. The @ at the end will be crucial for people keep them separate
That’s why we disabled the buy-sell-trade community on our niche instance. Nobody got scammed during the short time it was open, but if a username can be duplicated it makes scamming that much easier.
That sucks. Looks like they actually went out of their way to create that account a few days after yours.
You could always message an admin and ask them to transfer the account to you.
The only bad part about the fediverse, imho, it’s hard to be the only one with your username. What makes it bad is a malicious user, that you may have pissed off somehow, start using your username in a smear campaign to hurt your reputation.
The key is to not attempt to foster a reputation in anonymous social media
True. I try to stay anonymous. But that doesn’t work on all social medias. Take Facebook for example, they show all that info in your profile allowing haters to hate
Facebook is not anonymous social media. It’s spyware to the max
This is true, yet no one wants to listen to reality
You are the only user with the username
Efwis@lemmy.zip. Nobody else can have that username.But, [email protected]?
I don’t understand the question.
Capital I and lowercase l look alike.
It’s a play on that joke.
This is true, just like I have an ml account too. But I wouldn’t put past someone to create another account on another instance with efwis and start some shit because I hurt their feelings. So far that hasn’t been an issue but there is a first time. Especially since the username doesn’t show what instance your’re on on the feeds
