Is creating a throwaway on lemmy bad? (lemmy.dbzer0.com)

I was wondering whether that could cause issues for the limited servers available, like when the mass migration from reddit happened.

I know one account sounds like nothing but as a general practice would it be bad to add more accounts that would be mostly dormant?

And if one does create a throwaway would it be better to delete the account afterwards or leave it be?

I think the usage is what really uses the resources not just the account itself

also 100 accounts being subscribed to a community is basically the same as 1 account being subscribed, it's going to federate the same data either way
