    I could see that it would cause a problem if half the content came from one instance and then that instance de-federated.

    People might move to that instance to join the communities that they were previously following which could reduce the content on other instances as they would probably only use one main account.

    Lots of coulds, mights and maybes there though.

      Here’s another maybe: It might be a good if all of these content consumers moved on to another server. If they don’t understand/appreciate the point of the metaverse, what are they contributing?

        In this scenario it doesn’t matter wether they understand the point or not. The communities that they used to follow and contribute to aren’t available to them anymore so they create a new account that can access them.

        They can keep both accounts if they want to but they might not want to do that.
