Suppose I have two Fediverse accounts, which I use for different purposes. I want to follow you from both accounts. What would you like me to do?

@skyfaller use the same name and profile photo if you want me to treat you as the same person. Use different name and profile photo and I'll treat them as separate entities.

@shom I use different profile photos so I don't confuse myself! So far I've used the same username so I don't forget it, but different display names

@skyfaller @shom That’s what I do (I always claim “donutage” when I sign up for a new service), plus the note in my bio about the other account.

@skyfaller it wouldn't matter to me! it might be helpful to include both of your handles in your bios though (assuming you want people to know you own both accounts)

@skyfaller Do whatever works best for you 😀

@skyfaller I’m in the 2 account boat. Personally, I find it confusing on *my* side to be following the same account on both, but I don’t see any any issue if someone else wants to do that.
