You don’t make an account for every server you’re interested in on Mastodon either, who told you you had to do that? You just follow servers you’re interested in to see what’s being posted there. Or individual accounts like on Twitter.

When I tried to post on multiple servers I had to create an account on every one of them.

Dude you use it like Twitter, you post on your own timeline or in reply to other people. What’s this about trying to post on other servers.

For example, I'm a person who likes hip-hop music, technology, and programming just to name a few but I want those themes to be separated. On discord, I can be on 3 servers about those themes, on Reddit on multiple subs, and on Facebook on multiple groups with a single account on each of those platforms.

So it sounds like you use different social media platforms for different things. Why would you need another one to do everything for you, especially one that works mostly like Twitter?

To quickly interject here: the fact that you two are even having this exchange points to the reality of the issue being discussed.

...Twitter has already been incredibly famous without whatever it is you're talking about. Following people rather than topics is honestly more natural

I never was a fan of Twitter. I like to be able to follow both people and topics,
