it would be a bit like making multiple email accounts with multiple email providers. for example, if you were to signup "eskimofry@outlook.com" and also sign up "eskimofry@gmail.com", all you've done is made 2 accounts called "eskimofry" at the two different providers.

it works the same in fediverse. your account is @eskimofry@lemmy.world, but you could just as easily sign up @eskimofry@lemmy.ml, or @eskimofry@feddit.de, or @eskimofry@lemmy.one, all you would be doing is making more accounts.

these accounts don't conflict with each other in the exact same way that "eskimofry@outlook.com" and "eskimofry@gmail.com" don't conflict either. if these 2 emails are owned by different people, then it is the user's job to know which is the intended recipient.
