Policy on multiple accounts? (beehaw.org)

Hey Beehaw support folks!

Is there an official policy on multiple accounts? I realized that I defaulted to my backup username (this one) and attempted to claim Stewie. I was able to submit my application and I am pretty sure its just waiting for approval (no rush) But I can't tell if the existing user I found with /u/Stewie is the one I made or if someone elsemade it at the same time I did.

There's no rule against multiple accounts, but it's normal across the Fediverse to have more than one.

No matter which server you post from you still must be(e) nice while on beehaw.org. And if you are trying to continue behaviour that got you banned by using another account, that is not nice.

Accounts are made immediately on application so it's probably you, it might not have been approved yet though

I can verify the email used in a DM if necessary.
