On Hubzilla, your account is neither your identity nor where your posts and other data are stored. For this, Hubzilla has {{Internal link |target=What are channels on Hubzilla, (streams) and Forte? |link-name=channels}}. When you create a Hubzilla account, you're also asked to create a first channel. | |||
You can add more channels on the same account anytime. This way, you can have multiple fully separate identities with only one login for them all. Each channel acts like a fully separate account on most other projects. Connections, posts, uploaded files, everything is individual per channel. | |||
On top of that, Hubzilla kept Friendica's multiple profiles per account and optionally offers multiple profiles per channel. You can assign specific profiles to your connections and show them different sides and aspects of your identity. | |||
A channel can have several roles. It can be your personal social networking identity and/or your personal cloud storage, it can be a soapbox, it can be a moderated public or private forum/discussion group etc. There are several pre-defined channel roles, and customising the channel role is possible, too. | A channel can have several roles.
