If someone is impersonating you or a company / brand with a Farcaster username (fname), please send me a DM.

They are free to use ENS—decentralized and user-controlled. But they are not free to squat / extort money with a fname.

You own your FID and ENS. fname isn't decentralized yet.

Pls know I respect (and enjoy) what you are building. I just disagree with this. Feels exactly what x and others have done. There is a difference in impersonation and using a moniker like Nike.

Ensure you have defined T&Cs to outlaw impersonation (I bet you do) and then establish an incentive system to encourage users to report. Democratize the decision process to allow users to vote on removing a fname. Lastly, claim and reserve fnames of famous  people and organizations to prevent occurrence.
