they don’t let you have multiple accounts to separate your professional life from your cringe life

Can you post more on this? I found this article that seems to recommend you only use one account, but doesn't seem to suggest that they enforce it. I have like 8 GitHub accounts with a cringe/professional mix, so hopefully that's not something I need to fix. (Ironically I usually stay logged out anyway)

Here, I'm afraid. Third bullet. Whether or not they enforce it is another matter.

Sucks because I kinda might want to contribute some things to projects that I don't want people to know professionally.

Or maybe I can just make my profile private and hope nobody goes looking too hard.

They...have an "add account" feature right in their UI though. They are obviously okay with multiple accounts. Perhaps it is an abuse thing like if they notice you sock puppeting or something.
