What's to prevent someone from hijacking my username?

How would Threads federate with Lemmy in the first place since they’re a microblogging thing and we’re not?

Setting up selfhosting without a terminal
Every single time I talk to my friends, whom also want an *arr/Plex/VPN/Home Assistant setup like I’ve got, I can see the fear in their eyes when I mention Debian, Docker, and the terminal. It could be a case of “git gud”, but I want to help them out with a setup like this, but with as low friction as possible. Ideally...
Nobody alive has a kill/death ratio IRL, since you can't divide by zero.
I keep closing my browser tabs by accident with Ctrl + W
While editing in an input field, I’m so used to going for Ctrl+W instead of Ctrl+Backspace because it’s more ergonomic. But almost all modern browsers use Ctrl + W to close tabs. Since when was this a convention? I’d love to go back in time and git revert this change. Incredibly frustrating....
Why is copy and paste so difficult for Linux to solve?
It seems like for at least a decade every application/framework has had their own paste buffer, and honestly I’m surprised this isn’t “just working” out of the box by now....
Every time I turn around, there's another damn Linux fanboy crawling out from under a rock

Hello
Why is it called Lemmy?
Sorry if someone has already asked this. This is my first post on Lemmy. I mean, I guess you could ask the same question about Reddit but I’m pretty sure it’s supposed to be Read-It. But what does Lemmy mean? Is it a cute word for a small lemon?
ELI5: If you're a Christian, why do you have to be good if Jesus will forgive you no matter what?

Vampires are evil because they're incapable of self-reflection.
I just finish to see all TNG movies.
What I can say? They all are great! Some are better than others, but still is very enjoyable, why there is so mixed reviews about it? I can understand some specific complains, but that dosen’t make it bad.
Is a bong an instrument? It has been featured in many songs even having credits for bong solo.
Dealing with tech debt
How could I make my town a little less lame
I just moved into a new area, well in area that I used to live in and I remembered how lame it is. Most shops close at like 9:00 or 10:00. No nightlife to speak of, super family friendly and squeaky clean. Picturesque suburbs but I feel like I’m honestly trapped. But then it occurred to me. There might actually be something I...

What are your opionions on fortnite?
