I&#x27;ve replied up-thread about this, but while it&#x27;s true that some people complain about it, many also see this as a strength. Plenty of people are quite happy to install 20 IM clients in order to keep different aspects of their life separate.<p>If you doubt this, think back to the numerous HN threads where people complain about how they want to keep the Facebook profile separate to their LinkedIn profile. It&#x27;s unclear why this is different.
