Lemmy.world appears to have briefly logged me in as a completely different user (twice)? (self.support)

The first time it happened, I thought I was crazy and chalked it up to a glitch (i.e. "maybe it's just showing some weird database ID for me as a user or similar"). But this time, it was pretty clearly another user's account. The username was SLVRDRGN or something similar, had a completely different profile picture, etc...but when I went to click on the profile section to see if I had access to the account, the browser refreshed and populated with my account info.

Seems a little concerning potentially, so just thought someone should know. I will try to be faster with a screenshot if it happens again.

why shouldn't the email filter be enabled?

I have to admit that it doesn't do much for us, as the support emails we have in sidebars and posts are unfortunately federated to other instances where they're not getting obfuscated and will be crawled there, but we do have contact emails on the website. I'm currently not aware of any issues caused by that.

It breaks readability of your site without JS. That's particularly bad for the "old" (mlmym) UI which would otherwise be usable for basic interaction without JS entirely, but I find it annoying every time I end up loading a page from lemmy.world directly -- e.g. to check federation.

That's one of the reasons why I'm on reddthat instead of lemmy.world: old.reddthat.com works without JS.
