[–] fomo_erotic@lemmy.ml 1 points 2 years ago

The thread you’re posting in right now is coming from kbin, but you are replying to it from your lemmy account. So I think you’re already doing the thing you described, maybe without even realizing it.

So maybe you can help me work through understanding the account part of it. Like, I'm on lemmy, we're talking on kbin; super cool. The 'data' lives on kbin. But 'we' (royal we) 'live' on lemmy. What protects/ prevents some one from making a u/fomo_erotic on kbin? Anything? Say I liked the way kbin organizes the data better. Can I just use my fomo_erotic id to log into kbin? Would I have to migrate? If I'm concerned about other people in the fedi being 'me' should I get fomo on those ids?

I guess these are small details and if another fomo_erotic showed up, I wouldn't really care, but I guess what Im wondering is how far can 'we' go in the fediverse? What analogy would you use for the 'id' part of the fediverse?
