note that this is technically against their TOS if not using paid accounts:

> One person or legal entity may maintain no more than one free Account (if you choose to control a machine account as well, that's fine, but it can only be used for running a machine)

internet would be better with total anonymity.
it'll be nice to have options

nostr is allowing for more options

and Jack Dorsey happens to have put up a 1 billion sats bounty to """Create a “complete” Nostr-based suite of git tools, such that projects like bitcoin-core are sufficiently confident to move away from GitHub."""

That's one of my favorite parts of reddit. Accounts are just pseudonyms, and you can generate as many as you want. I personally generate a new one every few months, which helps keep too much identifying data from building up over time.
and they're all identifiably attached to your metadata package(s)
Which, at the very least, isn't public to everyone. So, not perfect, but better than single public account.
Not sure I follow.
That's a term of service that I'm not too worried about. I'm not going to cry if they terminate those two accounts (main account is paid, so that's not in violation). And I'm not doing anything unusual or abusive with the accounts so I'm not worried they'll take action anyway.
They'll have to catch me first.
