RESEARCH POLL #207

A year out, when the Fediverse is everywhere among business, government, family, school and friends, will you always be comfortable with things like: 1) contacting and discussing personal matters, 2) reaching out to agencies for help, or 3) yammering about a weird interest or hobby in front of your entire social graph of followers? Or will you prolly do what many on Twitter did: use another account just for things you don't want to over-share with your main social network?

I'd want a less-public account for ONLY this.

@shoq I have 3 Twitter, 2 Instagram, 2 Facebook and 5 emails. It seems likely I would eventually have more than 1 of any other system that I use on a regular basis. So far I only have 1 mastodon, but I expect that will change as people I know eventually join the network .

@PJD65 @shoq Why do you need that many? Multiple personalities? ;)

@timrichards @shoq LOL - not really, but different identities that don't need to mix. I have a twitter & and email that are solely, 100% work related. I have an account at each that is for "fandom" stuff. My friends and family aren't interested in seeing my love of Disney parks or Adam Lambert on a daily basis! Another account is mostly for family & friends and things where my real life identity is important. So nothing all that earth-shaking, but it is convenient to keep these separate.
