Curious what people in the #FediVerse expect to see from, for lack of a better word, creator accounts. When I came here I opened two accounts, one for "personal" and one for work.
I barely use my other account. I boost social issues that matter to me. Sure you can hide my boosts but I also boost art from others. And there's no way to divide those things from the viewer side of the fence. It's all or nothing for boosts.
Attaching a #poll but welcome your thoughts.
I'd say there are two independent but interrelated issues here: artist/author/creator intent and reader preference and empowerment.
Both are important.
As a writer, it matters to me to keep my work and personal personas separate for both practical and philosophical reasons. I'm a strong supporter of people having multiple accounts to match how they wish to have separate personas on social media. That's empowering of creators.
As a reader, I want to be able to shape my experience here and control what content is presented, and that's separate from the personas of people I follow.
That's where hashtags come in. On Fediverse, that seems to be the best way for readers to have power to get the experience they want.
So: accounts for personas and hashtags. They empower content creators and consumers, respectively. And they help empower us all on this platform.
