Similar to Friendica, Hubzilla still has multiple profiles per channel. But these different profiles only serve to show different aspects of the same identity to specific users. For example, you may have only basic information about yourself in your default public profile, a separate profile for your work colleagues, another separate profile for your close friends etc. But it's still the same identity, and different profiles can't conceal that. (streams) and Forte don't offer this feature. | Similar to Friendica, Hubzilla still has multiple profiles per channel.

Other users can't tell which channels belong to the same account because the account underneath the channels doesn't identify itself anywhere, only the channels do. Thus, it is not necessary to have multiple accounts on the same server to maintain multiple separate online identities. | ||
Each channel has its own separate profile(s), its own separate settings, its own separate posts, its own separate content altogether and its own connections. Other users can't follow your whole account, only the channels on it individually. The only common settings for all channels are those for the account itself. | Each channel has its own separate profile(s), its own separate settings, its own separate posts, its own separate content altogether and its own connections.
