Spent more time faffing about. Found one account to follow for some new indie music releases - @ccreleases@musicworld.social

This fediverse thing is fascinating, on one hand it reminds me of the chaotic interweb of the 90s where you never quite knew where you’d end up next, on the other I’m a bit disappointed that the fediverse feels more disjointed than it has to be.

I’ve read that originally, the idea was that everyone would just have one account and could then engage freely with the rest of the fediverse, but in practice things have developed into a state where stuff is more siloed from the overall fediverse and user accounts are splintered across the various platforms. Instead of one account giving me a good view to all the services, not only do I need separate accounts for loop, Pixelfed, Mastodon etc, I also need various accounts for all the servers. I would much prefer an approach something like Discord uses, where your user account is more or less persistent across the various servers. Having to memorize all those passwords for all the servers is a PITA

I suppose one way I could see myself using this is by sharing interesting accounts to follow from all my other accounts into one single account. So I’d basically use the individual accounts just for “cultivating” more stuff for my “main” account
