If you're following me over here on tetaneutral but you're on octodon, I was finally able to set up an account on the octodon instance. I'm @Shel_Holtz over there.
@shelholtz @Shel_Holtz And now, because you can't apparently DELETE a Mastodon account, you may have people finding and following you on BOTH accounts. (Which is similar to how people will send you email to multiple email accounts.)
@danyork Yeah, I took that into account. I'm probably going to add my Octodon account to my Tetaneutral profile.
@Shel_Holtz @danyork One of the downsides of the decentralized approach, yeah? If you decide you want to switch instances, you need a new username and account.
@BryanPerson That could also be advantageous. Participate in a music-themed isntance using one identity and a business-themed instance using another.
@Shel_Holtz Maybe so :) I still don't understand the nuances of different instances. My "Home" feed, for example, includes updates from the people I've followed, regardless of their local instance, it appears.
