Is it beneficial to have accounts across multiple instances?
Nah, I just have two because I've historically split my online presence up into these two usernames. Tbh I've just subbed this one to all of the same communities as the other one so it's largely pointless until things spread out a bit more, but if I'm posting about videogames I tend to do it under this name and if I'm posting about cross stitch I tend to do it on the other one. Eurovision goes on both :D
No actual practical benefit beyond it just seeming tidier to me lol.
I think it's a good idea to spread out your online presence to regain some anonymity; being doxed or stalked does not sound like fun.
Some people post pictures of their street and their airline ticket and then are surprised when they get back to find they've been burgled.
Yeah my craft persona is also a YouTuber which makes it even more important, imo. These two usernames are generally open about being the same person but suffice to say I have plenty of secret ones too ;)
Fair enough, cheers
