    It used to be normal and accepted to have different account for different things on the internet.

    Let’s take a very mundane example you’re taking singing class, great but at the moment you’re quite bad. However, you want to exchange with other beginners and student from your music school. Do you want your sport club buddies to know about it ? An we just talk about trying to sing a scale on pitch.

    There is tons of more “private topic” that you don’t want evenyone to know about even though you want to talk about on the internet.

    Despite what meta or tik tok think, separating account is great as it let you share stuff with a sub group of person.(also no doubt that big influencers, public figure and more have a hidden account)

    It’s still not that uncommon, especially on the fedi or reddit to split accounts or use throw away account for more private questions.

    It’s how the social web is supposed to work, so not a big deal if you do it un good faith

      For a completely normal thing that lots of people do, people who hate me for being nonbinary sure thing they’ve got some kind of slam dunk when they accuse me of being random other people. I’m constantly the subject of misguided attempts to doxx, and people think they’re performing a public service.
