That’s a problem for sure. And if someone has a display name, someone else can create a user with the same avatar and display name on another instance, and pretend to be them.
Do you think we should ~~sell~~show little blue checkmarks for users from your same home instance? 😆
That said, it might be nice for users to be able to tag others (privately viewable only by the tag author) to lable users they've veted before, sort of like RES. Users could keep track who is authentic from a prior interaction, like friends, but also who is just a troll, etc. But perhaps that better left user or client side customizations.
