What would be the use case for having two accounts?
Iβve heard SOME people are using a separate account for consuming highly unchristian forms of media, DEFINITELY not me though
Hhahaha I see
Porn posts. It's now on the fedi, so people may want to keep it separate
Cowards, the lot of them!
One possibility is an instance shutting down. Many instance admins are good about giving lots of notice, but sometimes that doesn't happen.
In fact there has been at least one instance on the fediverse which the admin disappeared from the internet, and their instance just slowly degenerated until it stopped working. Were they hit bt a bus? Who knows.
Big instances might want to have some contingency plans in place. This sounds like something we should all be aware of
Maybe two instances that defederated from one another
Using different accounts to route around and still access content at instances that defederated from your original accountβs instance.
You can still view content from instances that defederated from your instance as long as your instance didn't block them.
You can still follow defederated content as long as you follow the users/instance?
In my experience, yes. I can see BeeHaw's content event though they defederated from my home instance a couple of days ago. I've also commented on some of their posts, which is weird...
Your comments won't show for beehaw or other instances, only people on your instance can see those comments.
Interesting. Is it safe to assume that beehaw would start seeing those same comments if they refederate with sh.itjust.works?
No, only comments made after they refederate
If say, someone in Beehaw wanted to interact with Lemmy.World, theyβd have to make an account on Lemmy.World or some other instance that hasnβt defederated
Lemmy is blocked by my workplace firewall, kbin isn't. But I also want to use Jerboa.
