This troll used an admin name with one more letter. How do we deal with admin identity theft? Should instance admins reserve usernames preemptively? This troll will likely try u/Desssalines or something similar next. Maybe mod/admin flairs should be more flashy to avoid such confusions?

    Feels like that solves itself then as more people see those tags. Just ban these when it pops up and look for those. Reddits never been had issues with someone confusing u/spez with u/spezz or u/speez day old accounts.

    Yeah exactly, it’s definitely something that will solve itself. The moment, more people are familiar with the interface, the less impact it will have.
