Anyone can impersonate anyone here at any time, it is one of the gaping holes in the Threadiverse that keeps content creators with some actual fame from wanting to come here.
On Mastodon, Friendica, Pixelfed and if I’m not mistaken also Bookwyrm you can verify yourself by using your own website (if you have one). You can also do it for free if you have an account on a bunch of services such as Gravatar.
Don’t know where did cm0002 appear from, not sure if he’s wearing a cape, even, but all I know is that he’s the hero we need.
IMHO he’s spamming and evading bans with his 10 accounts. Not worth it.
10?? I’ve blocked at least 20 cm0002s?! And they keep coming.
Tbf, some of those are other people mad at them.
Also it’s helpful that they are all labeled the same, unlike the traditional ban evasion tactics using different names to obscure their true origins.
Weird. I wouldn’t have expected that. But yes, according to their megathread in the sister comment, about 5 on my blocklist are unaccounted for.

I haven’t seen anything like this on Lemmy fwiw.
