Accepting multiple plex server invitations incorrectly claims to remove you from other server member

This email was sent to me; however, the content is inaccurate, specifically the note at the end… saying that accepting this invite, I will leave my current home, which is incorrect… if this email’s note was correct, you could never see more than one plex server, but it is wrong.

Before accepting the invitation in this email, I was a member of a friend’s Plex server and also the owner of my local server.
After accepting this invitation, my existing memberships were retained, and I was added to a 3rd server (my server and two friends’ servers), so the functionality is correct. The message in this invitation email is incorrect.

You’ve been invited to join a Plex home!
Hi there!

You’ve been invited by FRIEND to join their Plex home. To accept this invitation, simply click below.

Joining a Plex Home allows you to quickly switch between accounts in your Plex apps. It may also allow other members of the Home (particularly the Home admin) to access your account in certain circumstances, so don’t join the Home of anyone you don’t know (and trust).

Please Note: We show that you are already part of a Plex Home. If you accept an invitation to join another Home, you will leave any current Home. If you are the admin of that Plex Home, then it will be deleted, causing other members to leave and any managed users to be deleted.

Accepting a media share is one thing.

Accepting the invitation into a Plex Home is a different thing.
The former can exist without the latter.

Being in the Plex Home of someone else has some advantages and some disadvantages.
You must be perfectly clear what joining someone else’s home entails. The most serious one being that your own home and any managed users within it are destroyed.
