if someone is being impersonated on the #fediverse how do they find out?

sure you can search for user names, but doesn’t help with impersonation on defederated servers right?

any way to search the whole thing or have all the projects aiming to do that stopped because of backlash @ the idea of a fediverse-wide search function?

    That’s an extremely important questions. Thanks for asking.

    It is impossible today to know. With AI able to create pictures, text very similar to a person’s language, it is impossible. One would have to personally meet the person and verify their id and content!
