I mean, pretending to be someone in another instance, “stealing” the username, is trivial. I see the more likely targets being instance admins or high profile users. Should we worry somewhat about this?

Yeah, I think how most Lemmy clients (including the default web UI) handle display name is a real mistake.
It currently shows: pic, username (or login name@instance), local link to the comment, federated link, language
Seems like the easiest solution would be to always show the user’s instance in a separated column
