Everyone has an alt.

I don't.

I must make an alt.

@DjBRINE1 I think it's part of the fedi culture.

Not that I need it, but... :corndog:

Everyone should have an alt, or multiple. It really solves a lot of problems!

For so many people (including me once), it never even occurs to them. It's really a mindset change that needs to happen. People are used to mindlessly filling out their (Facebook/Twitter/etc) profiles, and they become attached to this singular electronic entity, this single digital representation of them. It's a whole personality onto its own.

Multiple accounts should be commonplace. They allow you to produce different feeds with different personalities and registers of tone and content for different people, just like you would in the real world. It also exposes you to different subcultures around the network, just like how you'd explore the real world. You are complex person. I think the natural accident of federation results in this naturally better .

There are many more good reasons, like network resiliency, proliferation of ActivityPub implementations, etc.

@torresjrjr @DjBRINE1 This is first-tier philosophy right there, I like the reasoning behind it
