wouldn't the work-around for that simply be like reddit where people have two accounts (or more) for work vs personal vs even more anonymous posting?

  As far as I know the only platform that really supports that is Tumblr, which lets you create as many secondary blogs as you wish with just one e-mail address (and Youtube if you count it). For every other platform users will be impeded by the fact they have to create a second e-mail to create a second account because they don't know how to use e-mail folders. You can't even switch accounts on Reddit which means you need to use a browser that supports switching cookie jars somehow. In summary, I'm willing to bet the average user just posts everything on a single account. And even if they used separate accounts, that doesn't change the fact that the blocks/follows of their identities isn't private.

    This is mostly not a problem on the Fediverse (note: not Bluesky, since that is still pretty centralized). To make an alt for a different topic/identity/community/anything one can just pick another instance.

      This is mostly not a problem on the Fediverse because its userbase is completely different.
