Are there any tools that that could help confirm identity? It seems like the input would be the username, but beyond that, I don't know how identity could be proven / how a distinction could be made between an imposter and the "real" user. Usernames aren't unique in the fediverse.

The approach I've seen here on Lemmy is to bidirectionally reference alts in each profile
Currently there aren't any that I'm aware of except for the modlog:
- which can confirm/validate existing admins & moderators on federated instances
