I'm sure there's no way to tell, but I wonder how many are duplicate accounts to span different instances.

You could probably find some ways to get a few of em but i don't know.
You shouldn't really need more than one or two accounts tho. Talking from kbin :)

What would be the use case for having two accounts?

One possibility is an instance shutting down. Many instance admins are good about giving lots of notice, but sometimes that doesn't happen.

In fact there has been at least one instance on the fediverse which the admin disappeared from the internet, and their instance just slowly degenerated until it stopped working. Were they hit bt a bus? Who knows.

Big instances might want to have some contingency plans in place. This sounds like something we should all be aware of
