    Not the original commenter, but it seems they’re asking if lemmy is doing anything about imposters. These are all different characters: “Greek Ο (039F), Latin O (004F), and Cyrillic О (041E)” so someone could look like they have an official username, when really it’s a different unicode character. Nothing to do with the actual IDN part, but moreso about the “homograph” part, or even more accurately, homoglyph

      I guess if someone were dumb enough to give money to a person on Lemmy just because they claimed to be Mr Beast or something. Otherwise I don’t really see the “attack” part.
