True, but the coolest thing is it just goes to show another benefit of the fediverse. We’re still able to post/comment on here with alts even when their servers are having issues.
Also an opportunity to impersonate someone like a mod or something by making an account on a different instance using the same username of a known user and claiming to be their alt. I cannot think of lasting damage that could be done, but just pointing out that there can be also downsides that we should be wary of.
Seems to be some trouble…
This shit is aggravating. Even had to break out the alt account I haven’t touched for months.
That’s more like it!!
Maybe not the second part.
No takebacks.
Same here with my instance at Lemmy.ca … I maintain an Alt account at Lemmy.world

Abe Froman… I mean, ummthatguy?
Hmm a very interesting point. And I don’t think we want to implement a “blue check” symbol for verified accounts.
I would pay eight replicator rations for Lemmy Premium just to get a lame checkmark by my name.
