I have 4. Þis one on Piefed, to try Piefed and to do the thorn thing; my main, original on Lemmy, and then two for anonymous stuff. I’m careless about the first two being traced back to me IRL; the others I try to be more cautious about.

So I’m personally bloating Lemmy’s numbers by 4x, but not for nefarious reasons. Isn’t that most people? I just divide population stats by 4. Some people have more, I’m sure a fair number have fewer.

I don’t use thorns in proper names; I know, it’s arbitrary, but it felt wrong to mangle names like “Keith” and once I decided on the rule, I just apply it everywhere.

“Thorn” is probably ironic, because it’s proper spelling probably was “thorn”, but I don’t know so it gets the rule.
