I’m slowly trying to build my feed and while Beehaw offers plenty of great communities with great engagement, I’d like to add a few more to give me a little more variety. Open to anything really!

As with most things, there’s trade offs. From a usability stand point, it’s a pain. I try to keep the amount of accounts I have to a minimum. They’re easy to lose track of, hard to keep them secure when I don’t remember how many accounts I have out there (I don’t have many accounts, so keeping track is easy right now), can’t always account for the security of the platform, end up reusing similar or same passwords and user names a lot, etc… Yeah I can work around all of that, but that’s part of the problem… I’m also lazy :)

The part that I think would be most annoying is just knowing which servers got defederated at any given time, creating new accounts, shuffling subscriptions. Luckily it doesn’t look like it forgot what I was subscribed too, so I just had to make a new account and then re-subscribe to everything. But if this grew to the size of reddit, it’s almost nightmare material thinking about the drama between communities and constantly reshuffling. Bleh.

I mean I’m fine with it, not trying to complain here :) Just some things I’m worried about is all.
