In a federated network, like Mastodon, there can be user name collision, where two people share the same user name. What do you see for the @'d note I linked? It loads someone else's post on Damus, but loads correctly on Iris
Is that the same thing as hash collision?

Hey similar 👍 like an MD5 hash collision, yea
Is that a problem,i think i've been saying that but can't articulately explain it....
Why does that happen?
Not sure if it did. But I published a note using Iris and it never showed up on Damus. And when I try to link it on Damus, it shows someone else's post 🤷♂️Very odd.
