    I just don’t like the idea of having 500 accounts after it’s all said and done, especially if most of them wind up being unused… unless I’m fundamentally doing something wrong by creating a new account on every instance I want to use?

      You don’t need an account for every instance.

      How it will mostly evolve in the future is that people will have one vanilla account, and if they want, one account for piracy and another for porn

      I mean you won’t, they way it’s going to shake out is instances with similar values form nation-states and cut ties with other nation-states they dont agree with

      well probably see the emergence of meta-alliances soon that dictate the degree of separation of a blacklisted instance.

        What kind of specs do you need to run a personal instance? I’d like to, but I don’t really want to invest in a bunch of computer stuff right now

      I mean saying 500 is a little hyperbolic but this is exactly why federation exists and isn’t just another Reddit.

      You find what you like and go there. It’s really no different than the old forums. Reddit centralized everything, lemmy is that but also the old way.
