I was wondering whether that could cause issues for the limited servers available, like when the mass migration from reddit happened. Would it be bad to add more accounts that would be mostly dormant? And if one does create a throwaway would it be better to delete the account afterwards.
My stance is if a service is totally cool with 1000+ bots, you making 2-3 accounts a year isn’t a problem.
The root issue isn’t quantity of accounts, but malicious users causing trouble.
It would add extra length to the queues for instances that manually approve new users.
…
I think that the impact is rather small. The major issue is actual usage; a dormant account won’t tell the server “please fetch me those resources”, or “please send this comment”, or stuff like this, it’ll be at most a new line in a user database.
I imagine if it becomes an issue for the hosts of the account, they can just delete abandoned accounts, or accounts that havent interacted in some time.
I have an account in ml and another in lemmyworld. I like ml much more, but created the lemmyworld one when ml was having down times.
Yeah, that seems like a good solution.
what if I just seem like a throwaway?
Not really inherently either, it depends on what you do with them IMO.
Reddit has grown into a capacity for that, Lemmy is only two months old.
Lemmy is older than 2 months.
What’s with the admin posts then saying “we got two million users in one month” then?
What type of behavior do you intend to engage in on your alt, and why wouldn’t you want that behavior associated with your main?
Worst undercover cop ever?
