I was wondering whether that could cause issues for the limited servers available, like when the mass migration from reddit happened.
I know one account sounds like nothing but as a general practice would it be bad to add more accounts that would be mostly dormant?
And if one does create a throwaway would it be better to delete the account afterwards or leave it be?
You must log in or register to comment.
I think the usage is what really uses the resources not just the account itself
also 100 accounts being subscribed to a community is basically the same as 1 account being subscribed, it’s going to federate the same data either way
Ah. Didnt know that. Thanks.
An account is just a small database entry. It probably costs the server less than a post that appears on the front page.
Oh wow I didnt know that. Thats a cool tidbit of information. Thanks
To add to what others have said, the real source of load is browsing. It’s much better than a few months ago, but it is still the case that users actively on the web frontend is the biggest load.
If you are actively using a single digit number of accounts simultaneously, no issue. A bot farm using 100,000 users simultaneously is a big problem.
Limited servers available? Can you elaborate on this?
Not bad. It’s normal to have alts on any social media platform
