Seeing other peoples' usernames briefly

This has happened to me twice now in just a few minutes. After the first time I clicked on the profile link and it sent me to my own. I cleared website data for lemmy.world and then saw what is in ss while not logged in at all.

I was under the impression that they weren't usernames, but anonymous user tokens that use an adjective and the name of an animal, like silent giraffe, or excited ibex.
