Most of these devs would have cried if they met Linus Torvalds in his prime.

Typical infighting with open-source folks. It's a personality war with nerds.

I have a question.

How, if possible, can I log in to say, discuss.online above, with this account.

Or do I need to make a second account over there.

I am using the jerboa app at the moment if that helps.

Also, related, is there a way to just, use my Mastodon account, and drop this one completely?

Reddit has a recommendation algorithm to do most of that work for you.

You can't log in from your lemmy.world account, but you can interact with it through lemmy.world as if you had an account there.

When it came to email, we didn't care about the system becoming too centralized. They were all run by large companies that had the resources to keep things running for a long time, so no need to consider how long your email will survive. Most people didn't even know they had options. If someone you know made an aol email, then you also made an aol email. The content you receive is exactly the same regardless of where you sign up. No need to think about who federates with who, or how the instance gets moderated. Email is email.
