What’s the maximum character number per handle?

replied to:

2-24, letters, numbers or underscores, now there are helpers to point that out.

replied to:

A 24 characters handle will break the UI on mobile. I suggest it to be 10 characters maximum.

replied to:

I tried the maximum and it is ok on mobile. Agree might be too big. Maybe 16.

replied to:

Got to change the verbose here "Handles must be 2–24 characters and use only letters, numbers, or underscores."

Ops, you reverted! Duh!

replied to:

I changed it to 16 briefly then reverted that, since we have accounts with longer already. It should be fine with 24.

Perhaps controversial for , but now you can create multiple accounts under your account (aka personas) that you can use as regular accounts, each with their own profile. The same email is used and you can switch between them under .

To prevent abuse this is rate-limited to 2 new accounts per month.

I like it! :-)

replied to:

I am honestly confused, what would you need multiple Accounts for that are not "entirely distinct" Can anyone tell me their use-case? maybe I just don't see it. ^C

replied to:

Freedom of expression is one, perhaps you want to say things and not be associated with your "regular" account, that would maybe be seen by co-workers or potential employers. Another is you want to make a bot to post some stuff but not be seen as actually typed by you.

Different followings/ers as well. You could always do a new account with a new email to do that, so nothing is new here. It's just an easier way to make a different new account.

Okay, thanks everybody. With other services where I had to separate concerns I just resorted to creating multiple accounts linked to dedicated Mail addresses, but it makes sense if you i.E. cater communication to separate groups. etc.. got it :)
