I am not new to having a handful of alts. I had a handful back in Reddit. But my journey here has been entertainingly different:

• my lemmy world account is where I started. I was fresh off the boat (from Reddit). I wanted a Reddit-like experience and I got it.
• kbin was more out of curiosity, I checked it out and was immediately disoriented. I still liked what I saw, and hoped it'd develop further.
• my lemm.ee account was more out of necessity. It was created during the lemmy world outages, and was meant as a lifeboat. @[email protected]'s transparency and even-keeled decision-making during the Facebook/Meta Threads debacle won me over. It has since been my main.
• my dbzer0 account was born when lemmy world took action against certain communities. I was struck by dbzer0's principles. It became my go-to alt for tech and tech-adjacent interests.
• Of course I have an NSFW alt, which I shall never name. I'm pretty vanilla, but...
• I explored what piefed.social is all about and made an account there. It reminded me of kbin for some reason.
• And then this one. I still hope this is the last time I'd ever have to make an alt.

To think that when I made my lemm.ee acount, I was so against the idea of having too many alts. I now have seven!
