Original GitHub issue: https://github.com/alexal1/Insomniac/issues/31

Problem:
Sometimes target accounts changing their usernames or not exist anymore so Insomniac can't find them via search and instead, it opens the first hashtag and then crashes, or opens the first username that looks like it and tries to make activity there.

Possible solutions:

Check account username before activity and if it does not exist or not matches exactly specified username => skip
Add this type of accounts to list => brokenusernames.txt
Possibly add function to Insomniac that will exclude brokenusernames.txt from the next activities.
