You could always create an account for your username on multiple popular servers if you wanted to. Can't stop it on small servers but having multiple accounts in the Fediverse is not a crime.

Nah, I can't see any reason to make more than one account.

Why would you need more than one?

[–] NebulaBC 4 points 1 year ago (2 children)

Just if you wanted more than one. Just like u/kadu said about email. It's like if you had your email on Google, Yahoo, and Hotmail. I know a lot of people have an alt on platforms like Discord too.

I know, look at the usernames of the replies

[–] NebulaBC 1 points 1 year ago

LOL I didn’t realize. Thanks for pointing it out.

I hate Discord with a passion. Can't wait for https://github.com/vector-im/element-call to be done so I can leave that behind.

I hate element so much on mobile (and desktop, but not as much). I've been planning on making my own Matrix client for a while.

[–] amki@feddit.de 2 points 1 year ago

If you can do better I'd be glad to migrate! :) As long as it is a matrix spec compliant client we don't even need to agree which one is better so there's that.

I sometimes have problems with notifications not going away and I hate that custom ephemeral messages hasn't been merged but that's about it I must say. (Multiaccount would be nice to separate work and private a little)

Wow, posting on some of the bigger instances was really slow. I guess the influx of users has caused that

[–] FlowerTree@pawb.social 3 points 1 year ago (1 children)

It can be useful in case whatever instance you're using defederate or is defederated by another instance you want to participate in. It's also useful in case your instance goes the way of the dodo and shut down.
