### Why so many accounts?
In my opinion it's preferable to have multiple accounts on different homeservers for ensuring decentralisation instead of having a single authority in power and being able to issue commands from multiple servers in case of federation meltdown which multiple rooms experienced during the period of room version 9 before homeserver software started to nag on unintentionally open registration refusing to start.

Additionally state resets are a good reason to keep old accounts around.
### Why do you use Matrix URI scheme instead of matrix.to?
@ -42,6 +42,22 @@ They are related to bringing Matrix to other protocols or vice versa.
* A puppet is the opposite, a Matrix account controlled from another protocol such as IRC or XMPP (the controller/puppetmaster being the user there).
* A double-puppet is when you are using both protocols and have connected them to each other such as a message from Discord appears as your real Matrix account and message from Matrixx appears as your real Discord account instead of something virtual only existing due to the bridge.
### What are state resets?
The term is used least in two different scenarios:
* when your display name and/or avatar return back to what they were previously
without anyone doing anything.
* more seriously when the Matrix federation decides that the room is actually
in the past adding/removing users who were (or weren't) in the room at that time.
This also affects administrator/moderator access.
[This issue was supposed to be fixed at room version 2 with Stare Resolution Version 2](https://spec.matrix.org/latest/rooms/#complete-list-of-room-versions),
but regardless [still happens in all versions after that](https://github.com/matrix-org/synapse/issues/8629). If you are affected, your best bet is to
`/upgraderoom {{site.matrixLatestRoomVersion}}`, which is a bit distruptive operation as all your users have to join the upgraded version and all homeservers involved must support it.
You shouldn't just trust me or the variable on this site on what is the latest version, [consult the Spec](https://spec.matrix.org/latest/rooms/#complete-list-of-room-versions) and add [Version Checker](matrix:u/version:maunium.net) or [Fluff Generator](matrix:u/+:jae.fi) or [their sibling](https://github.com/maubot/rsvc) to your room and once they join, `!servers upgrade {{site.matrixLatestRoomVersion}}` replacing the {{site.matrixLatestRoomVersion}} with your target version.
### Which client do you recommend?
The one that fits your needs. Personally I mix-and-match:
