One of the bad parts of having active accounts on three different types of fediverse servers is that the interface on all of them is different on each in a hundred tiny ways. Which means that I have to re-figure out how to do stuff in each one pretty much every time I switch. And since I'm not solely using one, I don't really build up the "mental muscle memory" to just know what each little icon means and what it does and how it works on this particular server.

It's kinda like if you've used photoshop a lot (for example), and then you were trying to do stuff in Krita and GnIMP. You have to figure out what each icon is, how it's different, what this particular software decides to call a feature (that has a completely different name than the feature did in the other softwares), where they've tucked away all the settings and tools.

Yeah, eventually using all three will be natural to you, but it's a lot easier to learn each in isolation that to try to keep three conflicting sets of HOW TO USE in your mind.

And of course, each software has unique features, and lacks common features from other softwares, so you also have to remember what is even possible in your current account
