FakeIdentity, ChameleonIdentity, IdentityObfuscation
Person with a Diaspora account is represented in the Hubzilla stream with different identities depending on the context.
Core developer in the Diaspora project Dennis Schubert shares upon request:
diaspora* attaches a signature to every item sent over the federation layer, and diaspora* verifies this signature on receiving any item. You cannot forge this signature without having access to the accounts’ private key, and you cannot federate anything without a signature or with an invalid signature inside diaspora*.
If Hubzilla fails to validate signatures, or somehow internally mis-attributes a post/comment to another user, then that’s a bug in Hubzilla that should be raised with Hubzilla.
