    I’ve got one on kbin and two on Lemmy. Don’t know wtf I’m doing but ideally I’ll stick with this kbin account since eventually it will be an “all in one” account for kbin, Lemmy and mastodon. Just waiting on a dedicated kbin app.

    Two on Lemmy. One on lemmy.world because it seemed both popular and stable enough, and a second one that I’m planning to use now that Beehaw blocked lemmy.world.

    Feeling really bummed out that posts on communities from Beehaw are now different depending on what instance you use to view them now.

        Beehaw is having trouble moderating some bad actors and harassment coming from some instances with open signups. They’ve decided to defederate for now until things settle down and better mod tools get released.

          Hey thanks! Shame that there’s harassment going on, but at least federation makes it easier for them to control for that if they so wish!

    Started with one at lemmy.world, moved to this one at feddit.uk because I wanted to interact with both beehaw and lemmy.world which were defederated from each other. I have one at kbin but I’ll probably access everything from here for simplicity. So, 3.

    I would be interested from the users who have multiple accounts, do you use the same name and password everywhere, so do you use the accounts as “one”, or is it different for each instance?
    If so, why?
    For security reasons, if the database of an instance is cracked?
    Do you not want your NSFW account’s postings to be associated with your other stuff?

      I use a password manager (Keepass) so every service has a different password usually 24 characters with upper-lower case, numbers, and special.

      For critical services like paypal and email, I also use different usernames.

        Like I’m dealing with power-tripping mods on Reddit again. Like I’m going to drop social media once and for all. I’m at a point in life where I’m simplifying. If I need to now track multiple identities/accounts just to post on one platform, I’m done. I have better things to do with <20% of my life I hopefully have left.
