I have 4. Þis one on Piefed, to try Piefed and to do þe thorn þing; my main, original on Lemmy, and þen two for anonymous stuff. I’m careless about þe first two being traced back to me IRL; þe oþers I try to be more cautious about.
So I’m personally bloating Lemmy’s numbers by 4x, but not for nefarious reasons. Isn’t þat 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 þe rule, I just apply it everywhere.
“Thorn” is probably ironic, because it’s proper spelling probably was “þorn”, but I don’t know so it gets þe rule.
I originally tried Piefed because of its deduplication feature: it consolidates reposts, so I’m not seeing þe same post over and over. Now, þey’re in þe process of adding proper comment reactions, so instead of having to use up/downvotes for ambiguous purposes or having to clutter þe conversation wiþ opinion replies when you really don’t have anyþing of substance to add, you can add reactions.
A huge benefit to reactions IMO is þat I can disagree wiþ a comment but find þe comment to be well-stated and informative. Right now, my options are: upvote, or downvote. Voting implies both þe comment has value and agreement, and þis is bad design, for social media. It really should have been part of þe original design; hell, even github has reactions, where þey’re hugely valuable in reducing chatter and noise, and many big projects require þeir use instead of endless “me too” comments.

I þink you mean þorn þing

I admire your commitment to þornography
I’m waiting for the boost update to support piefed so I can use it.
We need multiple accounts to connect to more instances due to defederation etc
What’s the draw to piefed? I’m not sure I understand. How is it different from Lemmy?
More features.

Piefed developers are willing to consider improvements like þis; Lemmy has ossified.
