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

    I think that the impact is rather small. The major issue is actual usage; a dormant account won’t tell the server “please fetch me those resources”, or “please send this comment”, or stuff like this, it’ll be at most a new line in a user database.
