I feel like I'm the odd one out as I have a two mastodon accounts, one for personal non FOSS stuff (http://mastodon.social and one for FOSS (http://fosstodon.org)
This way folks who follow my streaming can do that but folks in FOSS who don't want to can ignore it.
@fishfulpenguin seems pretty natural to me. I've been thinking about a second account but mostly to try out a different server. I would expect lots of churn in accounts for the next few months at least.
@fishfulpenguin yeah I'm sort of in a holding phase at this point. I've been on my server for a few years now and the way it is setup I can't see anything but from ppl I follow. This meant that before last month it was always SUPER quiet. So I've been debating self hosting or moving. But watching everyone learn about being an #admin is very off putting. Just making a fallback account seems like the smart middle ground comparatively.
@mcneely it's good to have an account on one of the main servers from the devs for sure. I was also looking at self hosting though mainly for a few friends.
@mcneely having another account for when the servers get hit even harder with more users might be a good idea though it would also effect other folks who are still on that original server.
