the user https://sh.itjust.works/u/goat appears to be impersonating the mastodon user https://hellsite.site/@goat

same profile picture, name, however the sh.itjust.works user has decided to create a hate community, https://sh.itjust.works/c/meanwhileongrad as well as spreading misinformation about the lemmy developers.

I would normally just block and move on but I find it dangerous to allow someone to impersonate someone else on the fediverse (an admin too) and begin starting trouble.

    no but if one is an admin of a mastodon instance and someone uses that same name and avatar to create problems that is something that needs to be discussed

      Are they actively trying to pass as that admin? Are these “problems” in any way related to impersonation?
