alt Hacker News> Big Monopolies have managed to convince people that they need one account on each platform. That brainwash/marketing is so deeply entrenched that most people cannot see an alternative anymore.
I get what is being said, but i disagree with the framing. The "brainwashing" happened in two stages, and the first stage is perfectly logical.
Most people don't want just 1 identity, and they want separate spaces for being different.
If you're already OK with having two accounts on BBS, what is 1 or 2 accounts more for thefacebook.com?

Where the framing still resonates for me is in who controls the boundaries
Facebook sometimes decides to block your account when the name is not 100% identical to your official ID.
Google when you make a chargeback or your youtube channel has the song of a bird
The other platform also have similar weird cases.
I don't want to be instabanned from ALL the internet just because one site decides I did something wrong for real or imaginary reasons.
