@rl_dane 4-6 that I have not gone and deleted.

@orbitalmartian

I seem to recall you used to have a BUNCH. :D

@rl_dane Keyword is used.

I think it was a year ago, I went through and deleted a load of accounts.

@orbitalmartian

Dang, am I the most account-prolific person I know, now?

I have 10+ XD

HOW DID THIS HAPPEN?!?!? 😂

cc: @amin

@rl_dane @orbitalmartian

It's okay.

I run five fediverse instances.

@rl_dane @orbitalmartian

Which I guess means I have six active accounts, if you include my project accounts.

@amin @orbitalmartian

Project accounts totally count. Even bots.

@amin @orbitalmartian @placeholder_bot

No, I completely forgot what that was.

@rl_dane @orbitalmartian @placeholder_bot

The timeline on Polymaths Alpha used to clear. So I made a bot to prevent it from clearing.

@amin @orbitalmartian @placeholder_bot

Oh, the local timeline? I do remember that problem. So it would just post something at an interval to keep the timeline alive?

@rl_dane @orbitalmartian @placeholder_bot

Yep. Actually it would detect when the next "page" of the timeline was blank, and post something so that it wouldn't be. Because if a whole page went by without anyone posting, some clients wouldn't understand how to page past the blank page.

@amin @orbitalmartian @placeholder_bot

Ah, cool. I don't think I knew about your gloriously hacky fix, or if I did, it went in one ear and out the other, as information is wont to do. ;)

@amin @orbitalmartian

I thought Juan C. Torres a.k.a. orthoheterodox was the most account-prolific person I know, but he mainly hops from instance to instance (hasn't done it in a while though). He doesn't keep most of his old accounts.

I've got accounts on:

  • Polymaths
  • Polymaths Alpha
  • esperanto.masto.host
  • Bookwyrm.Social
  • snac.bsd.cafe
  • billboard.bsd.cafe
  • loops.video
  • Pixelfed.Social
  • fosstodon.org (actually, haven't though it if this should count or not, since it's migrated. Probably not)
  • write.as
  • (an alt account elsewhere)

That's solidly ten. XD

@rl_dane @orbitalmartian

You migrated your Polymaths alpha account, too, right? Same with Fosstodon as you noted.

@amin @orbitalmartian

Ah, you're right. Hmm. I'm not sure about that now, because that account has so many toots, and you can still view the timeline, whereas on Mastodon it's kind of grayed out. That's why I counted it but not fosstodon. I'm not sure where to divide that line, or if there should be a difference between the two just because they're visually presented differently.

But honestly, in my mind, polymaths alpha was more like a historical account, whereas fosstodon was just kind of a placeholder.

I dunno, that doesn't actually make sense, either. XD

@rl_dane My current active accounts:

  • Polymaths
  • Fosstodon
  • peertube.linuxrocks.online
  • Vivaldi Social
  • Bookrastinating

@amin

@amin @orbitalmartian

FIVE?!? XD

  • polymaths
  • polymaths alpha
  • clew
  • ???
  • ???

@rl_dane @orbitalmartian

  • re.clew.se
  • projects.polymaths.social

@rl_dane @orbitalmartian

gts.verboseguacamole.com was my first GtS instance, but I took that down before launching Polymaths.

@amin @orbitalmartian

Oh, re.clew.se is a totally different instance from clew.se

Man, the lengths you will go to land a joke. 😅
