For context i did not know you can use an account from a single instance to post on another. With this in mind I have a few questions:

  1. If I can use one instance account everywhere, why can I make multiple accounts?
  2. Why isn’t there a centralised account system?
  3. What’s the use of having per instance accounts?

I’m currently considering keeping this main account and deleting the ones on other instances, because if i can interact with those instances I don’t see the need for an account.

    its a funny hybrid model, since i can subscribe to communities outside of my primary instance, and vote, comment, ect on them!

      Yep, that’s how all the ActivityPub protocol platforms are designed! They’re an attempt to get away from the same 5 websites ruling over the entire internet, and let people participate in their own little corners of the internet (like the old forum days), while also being able to interact with the rest of the internet without having to make separate accounts everywhere (like you had to during the old forum days!).
