The multiple-channels-per-account model has another advantage: It greatly facilitated the introduction of {{Internal link |target= | The multiple-channels-per-account model has another advantage: It greatly facilitated the introduction of {{Internal link |target=nomadic identity |link-name=nomadic identity}}. A channel basically puts your identity into a "container". What nomadic identity does is copy the whole container with everything in it, posts, settings, connections, files etc., to another account on another server. The clone can optionally be automatically kept in sync with the original, i.e. whatever happens on the original is automatically mirrored to the clone and vice versa. At the same time, the clone keeps the ID of the original. It would be a lot more difficult to pry certain data directly from one account, copy it directly to another account, keep it in sync and keep the copied data on the second account assigned to the ID of the first account. | ||
By the way, each channel on an account can be cloned independently from the other channels. You don't have to clone all your channels to the same backup account. In fact, you don't have to clone all your channels at once. And you can have uncloned channels, main instances of cloned channels and/or clones of channels with main instances elsewhere on the same account. | By the way, each channel on an account can be cloned independently from the other channels.
