I got sick of trying to get a mastodon.social account so I guess I'll just keep this one. I'm also on counter.social and we just set up toot.crashspace.org - though this reflects a bit of what I was worried about last year. I don't want a hundred different Mastodon accounts, but I almost have to in order to cover all the bases that I want covered.
@seanbonner how many emails do you use now?
@thomasknoll I have many, but I use one and have a unified inbox so they can all be managed from one place. It's not the same for Mastodon.
@seanbonner seems like all the clients make you switch back and forth between accounts ATM, but in theory a client could be made that would let you bring them together, and select which account to post from.
@thomasknoll not really, because each instance can choose which others to federate with or not so a combined feed would be almost impossible.
@seanbonner at the instance level, yes... but why couldn’t an app show data from multiple accounts. (Like TweetDeck does with birdsite
@thomasknoll it could show, but you couldn’t interact easily.
@seanbonner but, depending on how much of an actual community your Local is, I can see the value in keeping the streams separate.
