Using a small server is just asking to lose everything when it goes away, and small things come and go all the time. Porting one account to a new server(Or better yet not tightly binding it in the first place) is essential.

As I repeated elsewhere on this thread: having your own domain is the most straightforward way to guarantee that you can port your identity. But this is a separate problem from this idea of multiple "accounts". This is mostly from Mastodon's weird culture where people make this association between themselves and the in-groups from the instances. I wrote about that on my blog [0] https://raphael.lullis.net/federations-and-identity/ https://raphael.lullis.net/federations-and-identity/
