I'd argue yes. That is until each are refined on their own to form in to their own souls split from the same one. Much like a cell, when it splits, forms two others down the line. Just at a MUCH slower rate.

My answer to that philosophical quandary is very 40k in nature. I believe everything has a metaphysical spirit. The soul may or may not exist, but this spirit transcends any religious belief and isn't truly scientific in nature.
It's something that everything that has ever existed or ever will exist has. It's what makes each individual item, from each living creature to every rock, to every river unique. It isn't the composite parts of the item that does this.
Take your phone for example. It indeed does have a machine spirit. That spirit is what makes it the phone you know versus anyone else's phone. You can replace every part within it over the years but the phone remains. Your memories with it will remain and that bond you share creates maintains this spirit. No matter what it will always have this spirit and it cannot be destroyed.
Humans have this very same spirit. As long as my identity exists, as long as my ego remains. I remain me no matter how much of my flesh sack remains.
Initially fox ears and tails. Maybe more beast like eyes (as the cosmetic part of my cyber eyes themselves.). Outside of that it depends on how we are as a society. In today's society, that'd likely be it. If we were where I'd be an actual runner, I'd likely be more chrome than biological. Not much would be left of me as I am and it would beget the question of the ship of theseus.
you'd create the burners en masse and then burn them one at a time.
I'd disagree, it doesn't really affect any given instance to not be consolidated as long as the federations remain because we can subscribe to them and they can subscribe to us. If anything, consolidation hurts more because of unrelated defederation.
No you see, the Democratic People's Republic of Korea is democratic right? It's in the name. So Reddit clearly it cause Steve claims it is. After all, why would a ~~dictator~~ right and just leader lie?
That won't stop the trolls, now they'll just create burners on beehaw itself. They are hurting innocents to do exactly nothing.
I guess that's the slight downside of the game sharing the name with a genre.
Well, it's not that the game is sharing the name with the genre, it's that the games created the genre. It's like Roguelikes are all based on the game Rogue.
Additionally, they can just attach themselves to other instances anyways. It's impossible to stop them unless you make yourself an island and make it beyond hellish to sign up. Meanwhile you've affected the 99.9% of good people on that instance by cutting them off. It just doesn't make sense to me.
