        1. Multi-community simulator
        2. Defederation avoidance, usually paired with accounts on special interest servers you don’t want to risk losing access to.
        3. Porn and non-porn.
        4. Privacy by dividing online activities between multiple accounts to make it difficult to profile you and to maintain some pseudonymity.

          Maybe to add to this, there may be folks like me who initially joined on things that became problematic or we wanted something “better” and are now on something different, leading to doubles. Not sure if my older accounts (like kbin) would show up but they might.

        In my case, somewhat chronological order:

        1. First Mastodon account, on server that is unmaintained but still running.
        2. Funkwhale
        3. Mastodon with full name for academic use, on relevant server
        4. BookWyrm
        5. Kbin (dead now)
        6. New Mastodon for hobby interests, as the server of my first account is worthless at this point
        7. Piefed
        8. Mbin
        9. My professional website is in the early stages of federating as well. Still work in progress, but I follow myself and it somewhat works

        If a nodebb forum I have an account on decides to federate I might reach double digits.

        Edit: I forgot I also have a Pixelfed account! So double digits already.
