When the site was originally founded, it was explicitly recommended by the mods to periodically ditch and cycle accounts in order to prevent anyone on the site from being targeted, tracked, and harassed.
I never really took that advice, because I am lazy and overconfident. But unless there was a stark reversal that I missed, I assume its cool and even encouraged.
Great
more accounts are better, for opsec.
personally i dropped my alt and returned to my main because i was embarrassed by a post that people didn't like
Lmao that’s a funny story
sometimes the bit that is a banger in your head just doesn't land with the people and you gotta do what you have to to carry on

Anyone on here who claims they've never moved accounts due to a cringe post is a fucking liar
The rule is all alts must end in _Owl
cries in Gorb-owl-chev
Make as many accounts as you'd like.
Really ?
Absolutely. It's not a big deal.
Great
sysops will be aware (if they care, and unless you take measures to prevent correlation)
alts would only be an issue if one is ban evading
Ok cool
We've had a running gag for years that "everyone here is my alt".
Thanks for telling me
It should be fine as long as you're not using the account for ban evasion.
This is my alt that I use for ban evasion
Pro tip: post tens of thousands of times from your alt account to trick the mods into thinking it's your main
Even then, it's pretty much fine as long as you don't explicitly say "I'm using this account for ban evasion" even if it's blatantly obviously for ban evasion
The only other scenario where it's sketchy is when there's a site-wide vote, like when we voted over defederating this or that instance, it'd be shitty to use all your alts to vote.
I’m not
if you use an account for longer than 1 comment, you've basically already doxed yourself.
wait really? i have been posting here for 8 months. should i have alts?
If it makes you feel any better I'm at Langley monitoring leftists and I haven't given your details to my handlers yet. Maybe step up your posting game.
I already have long ago to less trustable CraKKKers 🤣
not trusting crackers
not this again
I’m sorry but I said “less trustable crackers” referring to redditors (lib Redditors 💀)
...we aren't all alts of the same 5 users?
Look at my username ,I’m new here
yeah i've lost track at how many alts i've made at this point
Amazing
I have about 500 alts. I managed to make them so they're all the same username, luckily.
Yes. I love your profile drawing. Is it orignial?
Also I purchased a bunch of Medjool dates from Palestine. My Indonesian husband says they are the best dates he had breaking fast the other night. Best dates I had as well. So fresh, soft, and carmel sweet. Ramadan Mubarak Mohammed.
Aparently they came from PARC which the Empire claims is the "agricultural arm" of the 
. I will be sure to buy more!
Is there an organization you can think of or brand that isn't compromised by the occupation - if you are allowed to say - that could help you all the most?
No it’s from Monster (Manga) by Naoki Urasawa
Genuinely don’t know tbh otherwise I would say so
Also Ramadan Mubarak to you as well
Today is Layla Al Quadr Allegedly
i have like 7, 2 of which I use actively
you should ideally be getting banned for sectarianism and creating a new account to evade said ban daily. I don't make the rules but many top mods and site admins have privately expressed to me that they prefer it this way....
It is, 3/4 of the accounts ever created for this site are dead alts haha
Really the only rule around it is if you are using alt accounts for ban evasion. If you are using an alt account after your main or w/e gets banned, that account will probably get smacked down too. Unless you are some kind of folk hero account / bit account you might get a little leeway.
yes. who gaf, kill the redditor in your head
Death to America
Yeah, I have like 3 or 4 abandoned ones at this point
no more half measures walter
