Bug ID: 465085
Summary: Account settings can get clobbered if username is
shared between instances
Classification: Applications
Product: Tokodon
Version: unspecified
Platform: Other

SUMMARY
If you connect to multiple instances with the same username, the settings file
clobbers over one of the instance settings on save.
The relevant bit in `account.cpp`, where we're using the username (`m_name`) to
save the account settings:
```
void Account::writeToSettings(QSettings &settings) const
{
settings.beginGroup(m_name);
settings.setValue("token", m_token);
/* snip */
settings.endGroup();
}
```
I think the group needs to be set as something non-unique. At least
`mastodon.sdf.org` sets the username as just the left part of the identifier,
so `m_name` is only unique per instance, instead of globally unique.
A simple fix would be to simply use the instance + the name as the group
