Welcome to today’s daily kōrero!

Anyone can make the thread, first in first served. If you are here on a day and there’s no daily thread, feel free to create it!

Anyway, it’s just a chance to talk about your day, what you have planned, what you have done, etc.

So how’s it going?

    What would it look like (technically)? Even mastodon has not solves this issue, they use a redirect to point an old account at the new but I’m not sure if there is much more than that.

        You’d have to federate the change out to other servers, editing the original author to be the new account. You’d need all the different activitypub platforms to support this otherwise different sites would show different info.

        And it needs to originate from the original server as you couldn’t trust a new server claiming it’s you.

        I’d guess it’s doable within a single platform, but federating out to other platforms seems tricky. That’s probably good enough though you’d need it to fail gracefully in situations it doesn’t work.
