I’m currently on sh.itjust.works, but wondering if I should also apply for a Beehaw user, and whether that comes with any benefits over just using my current user.

  • This may be a “c/nostupidquestions” question but are there any recommendations for someone who might want a backup account?

    In my case, my main account (this account) is from a small instance. I’d assume that then that I should have a larger instance as a backup, correct? I can also see the other side where it doesn’t matter

      For the first point… kind of but not really. Having an account on a second small instance still gives you the backup, and if one of the two goes down you can create an account on another instance as a new backup.

      For the defederation, nah. I like lemdro.id because they haven’t really defederated from anyone except for spam instances, and they’re small enough that no one has targeted them for defederation.

        I chose them for the same reason, they actually aren’t defederated from any instances as far as I can tell. I would rather choose which content I want to see for myself than have someone else do it for me. Plus there is old.lemdro.id which makes me feel right at home.
