Is having backup accounts a good idea?

How many backup accounts is a good amount?

@realcaseyrollins why would you need a backup fediverse account?
what exactly is it that your backing up?
@realcaseyrollins
i completely agree with having alts if you are using other peoples servers though .

perhaps you mean 'alternative accounts'?

@loganer

> why would you need a backup

To use as a fallback if the instance you typical use goes down

Maybe! although I guess some people have different accounts that serve completely purposes, and I'm referring specifically to accounts set up to be used in the case of an instance outage.

@realcaseyrollins that is understandable .

luckily i don't really have to worry about this since i run my own server.
i'm thinking i might have a small period of outage though in the future.
i'd really love to try out misskey as it looks to be pretty much what i've been looking for in the fediverse.

only problem is i've failed to setup a test server on my testing machine so i'm not switching till i can manage to get a test server running first.
then i'll understand what is needed for it to work on my primary rig.

@realcaseyrollins
Definitely. Just immagine, if your primary server stopped working and admin would struggle for weeks to fix it...

Not that it could happen with gameliberty.clib. right @matrix ?

@LukeAlmighty
Yeah something like that... backup accounts are good to have....
