Is it weird to be an American interested in Canadian news?

Anyone can make an account on a new instance with that name and claim to be the original person, so "same name, difference instance" isn't a way to tell who someone is. When you spin up a new account, it's a new account.

That being said, I don't think your post history is highly questionable.

That's true, but I have to ever encounter anyone on any platform using this particular name. Which is nice. But yeah, anyone could try to pretend to be me.
