@pixelfed@dansup sorry why does it do it twice? Is this just some weird way of getting sign ups? Surely it is easier and better to create the account separately.
@BeAware this is creating an account but also linking them.
How are there two signups? You already have a mastodon account.
The flow shown here is if I am not mistaken:
1. authorize access to your mastodon account.
2. create a new account, presumably authorized by 1. and I note, still requires yet another account - email.
or
1. create a new account
2. decide whether you want to link it to your other account or not.

1. offer to create an account with your mastodon user filled in and then
2. finally do you want to give *only* this new account access to your mastodon account.

@nf3xn why would it be easier? 2 sign ups for a federated platform instead of 1? Redundant at best.
