#LookupAccount continued

Jean volunteers her time on multiple projects like bash/Linux, #Python and #Mastodon.
Python is used on just about every OS but people who work on #TinySoft OS (of Redmond, Washington, USA) might not have any interest in bash and Linux.

An account that is mixed with #bash and python toots might just alienate people who are forced to use TinySoft OS

Splitting the toots between multiple accounts might be better for both groups.

#LookupAccount continued

So instead of sending 1000 toots about bash and python from one account, Jean sends 500 from a bash specific account and 500 from a python specific account.

Then the #TinySoft people would not have to wade through a bunch of bash toots (even if they might learn something) and might be more willing to contribute some comments.

The people who use python on Linux might just read both accounts.

In the case of Peter and his business card it, some potential clients might be put off by the extra step of having to find a specific Mastodon account from a #LookupAccount.
Maybe three business cards might be better for Peter?

Jean's example might be more appropriate especially if some people do not have nor want accounts on a specific code repository (i.e. one owned by #TinySoft) in which case comments on Mastodon might be better.
