We are borg.
why would you need an alt account?
Different instances have different federations, so it makes sense to have a few accounts scattered around different instances. Sometimes instances also go down or are slow, so it's good to have a backup somewhere else (my main account used to be on programming.dev, but it had server issues all the time so I no longer bother going there).
Oh, and as others have mentioned, porn. I personally also have an alt I use when I get a bit too verbose right after taking my adderall haha
Porn.
Why use Lemmy for porn? There are a million sites on the web for it.
oh yes of course.
That’s what whisparr is for.
i'm way too lazy to have alt accounts, just seems like a lot of work and i don't even know what i'd use them for
I was just about to comment the same thing. This shit ain't runescape
There's millions of Lemmings. They just occupy about a hundred bodies.
Are you telling me that Stamets, PugJesus and Mickey7 are the same person??
?
More PG image of "The Marauder" from Evil Dead Rise.
What I pictured in my head, not just one person. But a bunch of people fused together cranking out posts, like that thing. I'd probably not look it up unless you want to be grossed out.
lol. i havent looked at PugJesus and Mickey7 but Stamets is an interesting user that's for sure.
Far miss on this. I'm too lazy to even look into new instances to move off of .world, let alone manage multiple accounts.
Obviously I'm being hyperbolic, but it does feel like this sometimes.
I dig the culture, I think the dozens of you out there are fine people and I appreciate the tone the majority has established of being open-minded and inclusive.
I do not have alt account on Lemmy, I'll have you know. All like 25 of my accounts were made to be main accounts... I just ~~distro~~ server hopped until I found one I liked lol
I think this is my 2nd account.. the first one was on a server or whatever that ended up shutting down.
I remember making one on lemm.ee some years ago, but I forgot about its existence and made another, and then I heard about lemm.ee's shutdown thing and here is my third.
Hari Seldon is the Batman of sci-fi and his back-up plans for every contingency are plot-armour bullshit.
Whose alt am I? Need to reconstitute the soul back into one now.
Can I join you? Reconstituting a whole soul together sounds relaxing.
We are "Bob'
Who would want to live in that dystopia in the background?
Pre internet it was called "the squeaky wheel gets the grease" or "the vocal minority". Some things never change but the words get fancier.
Thank you, Hari Seldon, very cool 👍
Is the book/s good? I really enjoy the show.
Friend, you're talking about 1.4 million some words of world building. All connected. All remarkable. I neither know, nor care about the show, but do yourself a favor and read the whole 18 novel 3 story arc. Robots, Empire, Foundation. Genius.

The books are good-ish, but are wildly different from the show and I am not sure I can wholeheartedly recommend them to people just because they like the show. IMO the books, as written, wouldn't not be able to be made into a show that most people would want to watch. And yet, I only tried watching the show because of the books and didn't stick with it because of how different it was. It could be worth your time, but it's not a slam dunk.
Imo, the core trilogy is awsome. Prequels are mid, but add a lot if you want to go for the bigger picture. Sequels are awesome if you have read the robots and the empire saga.
Robots' saga is awesome, Empire's saga is meh
I found the "genetic dynasty" stuff to be the best part of the show, and apparently it's not even in the books
It's a writing thing they did so they didn't have to swap actors all the time. The first book spans several generations after all.
The genetic dynasty is one of the main reasons I didn't watch the show
Never saw the show, but I read through the main book series and connected works as a teen.
Was a very worthy read back then. Still warmly remember the series.
The books are good but very unlike the show.

Lemmy is socially acceptable? Hey mom, the internet is saying I'm cool! :D
The delusion is acceptable, Lemmy isn't 😶🌫️
False. I'm pretty sure I still have under 12 alts.
All my 3 are deliberately linked (spread across servers for redundancy)
You do that in a automatic way?
Nah, copy paste
