Two persona names on one set of accounts: portfolios under both Michael Liang and Joseph Jackson point at the same phoenixfeather0208 handle across GitHub, Telegram, Bluesky, Mastodon and Substack. Transcribed from the researcher's chart, which groups every account under the name it gives here and draws its links from mutual follows, shared contact details and repositories carrying one another's details. Accounts on platforms this site does not index, as the chart lists them: github.com/0phoenixfeather0208/resume, bsky.app/profile/phoenixfeather0208.bsky.social, substack.com/@phoenixfeather0208, mastodon.social/@phoenixfeather0208, forem.com/michael_liang_0208.

Commit addresses this index holds

From gh-fake-analyzer 1.0.2, the Ketman Project's GitHub analysis tool, run on 2026-10-07. These are signals: backdated history and several commit identities are common among ordinary developers too, and an account that shows none of them is not thereby cleared.
