Not really. If you are on multiple Mastodon/Pleroma/Pixelfed/Misskey servers, you have a separate account on each of them. Some servers are meant for certain topics (mastodon.art is mostly artists) and different servers will have different lists of banned servers (so you might be able to follow all your friends on Server A, but not import that full list into Server B).
People with multiple accounts with the same name/icons often call these accounts "alts" .. and it's kinda easy to create a fake alt for someone (although KeyBase supports mastodon so you can kinda setup your "identity" that way; although each individual server has to be added to the big Keybase list).
It's really more like old IRC/AOL chat rooms .. with threads.
