@efi @alilly Note contact dermatitis and (in rare cases) apparently angioedema can be caused by glasses frames. (https://progressive-glasses.com/can-you-be-allergic-to-glasses-frames/ is the only source I've found for the latter claim, but I haven't got where I am today by ignoring arbitrary websites run by total unknowns.)

@efi @alilly And many people have benign tumours that are not attacked by the immune system. If they don't self-destruct, it's only when they become a major threat / express foreign antigens that they're dealt with (afaik) (and even then, sometimes they're not).

@efi @alilly And some people have cool robot parts!

@efi @alilly Cool robot parts have to be made carefully in order to stop the immune system from deciding they're foreign contaminants and DESTROYING THEM (often ineffectually, but with much collateral damage).

I believe there's also some research about teaching immune systems to recognise foreign tissue (e.g. transplanted organs) as their own, so immunosuppressants aren't needed.

@RobSalesforce Can you talk me through what the problem is? I've never heard of this "brand cybersquatting" before.

@RobSalesforce Why do you want to stop them impersonating your company? Why would they *want* to impersonate your company?

@RobSalesforce The first one sounds illegal; you could just send a cease and desist.

For the second one, just talk to the admins. Admins are approachable on Fedi. (As such, this isn't actually a viable attack, and people don't do it.)

The only "cybersquatting" I've ever seen here is when somebody pretended to be Benjamin Netanyahu for a couple of weeks on one of the fascist instances; I think the motivation there was to prank people.

@RobSalesforce But, the real solution? Run an instance on a subdomain, and have an account there. It's hard to doubt the legitimacy of that.

@darius @feditips In case you're not aware, this is a good one.
