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.

same username but different passwords

[-] [email protected] 1 points 1 year ago

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.

two. this one, and I made an account on fedia.io back when kbin was having issues federating. but I only use this one now.

[-] [email protected] 1 points 1 year ago

Just one right now. I'll probably spin up my own instance at some point though.

I think I'm up to 12 now across both platforms.

[-] [email protected] 1 points 1 year ago

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?

[-] [email protected] 1 points 1 year ago

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

[-] [email protected] 1 points 1 year ago

Four right now. I have a kbin that I'm keeping contained to kbin for the time being. I have one on Beehaw that was going to be my main on Lemmy, but I made another on .world to interact everywhere since Beehaw defederated for now. And one for NSFW-only.

I have one Lemmy account for now. Following the KISS protocol (keep it simple).
