We had a Bazaar community but decided to close it because of the way Lemmy is set up... It's too easy to copy usernames and engage in scamming. If you want to make a post, just put "This post approved by walden" at the bottom.

We don't have a good setup for this type of thing, so I'd say for now it's a "with permission" type of scenario. Good luck with the sale!

Thanks, that'll do for my purposes anyhow as I only get around to this once or twice a year so we'll probably have something set up by the next time I bother to list something.

Curious what you're referring to re: username spoofing though, that seems concerning. Do you just mean the ability to create [email protected] or something and potentially confuse users that don't understand the federated nature of the platform? Or something sneakier?

That's exactly it! I happen to have [email protected], but I can't stop somebody from signing up for [email protected].
