      May i ask why? Personally the only reason i have 5 is because most of the ones i signed up for initially became heavily overloaded

        1. I want to protect my username.
        2. The overall landscape is very ephemeral and disjoint right now.
        3. Outages and system instability across the network.
        4. Lack of clear direction or long-term plans by admins.

          Makes sense, but I am curious would you delete most of those if things stabilized or would you just keep them there just incase?

    Stupid question. How is everyone managing the accounts, emails and content? How do you manage multiple profiles? (As I understand apps and tools are still lacking).

      Password manager + you can add multiple accounts in the jerboa app

    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.

      So far same name, different passwords. Not really much thought given to any of it, I just wanted to get up and running quickly and I’ll possibly change it when things settle down (I’m not really attached to this name). Different passwords is just good standard practice.
