BrainBlasted (brainblasted@floss.social)'s status on Sunday, 03-Jun-2018 06:15:54 UTC BrainBlasted @Laurelai Communication is a major issue for me. Currently from what I know, Mastodon uses a Discord guild to handle chat within the development community, with Patrons getting access. Closing off valuable chat channels to people who pay rubs me the wrong way, and it is especially frustrating that communication is done on a closed, centralized platform. I would hope a fork used something like (preferably) Matrix or IRC, maybe even Mattermost.

In light of this shit, I think the biggest thing we need is a way to properly move accounts - broadcast a message to all followers that your account has moved, and their follow is rewritten.Laurelai Bailey repeated this. -

it happens all the fucking time and it's awkward AT BEST
worst case, an argument breaks out

infinite love ⴳ (trwnh@mastodon.social)'s status on Sunday, 03-Jun-2018 08:07:33 UTC infinite love ⴳ @Laurelai issue #177 - support account migration
a bit hard because mastodon assumes a webfinger address will always point to the same account, and that this URI will never change
If webfinger was used *only* for lookup, then maybe a.weirder.earth wouldn't have had to change to weirder.earth
it would require updating a lot of accounts in the database though
