Moving accounts between instances isn’t a thing yet right?
Its not right now, but that feature is in the roadmap afaik.
Narp, you're stuck forever
trapped
It's not, unfortunately. The main issue I see with implementing that is all of your existing posts/comments would still link to your old account on other instances. So either your old instance would have to forward requests for your account to the new instance, or maybe ActivityPub has some way to push that update out and update your account's home across the fediverse. I don't know enough about it unfortunately.
You are welcome to create multiple accounts in any case. Suppose that defeats the purpose of the fediverse though.
One trivial way would be to just transfer your subscriptions, onto a new account.
Very true, if you don't mind losing your post history. A simple way to migrate subscriptions would be great for those folks that make a new account every once in awhile anyway.
I'm probably thinking too far ahead, but just spitballing..
Once reputation is fixed, your posts should be able to be exported/imported if it meets a certain level, and filesize requirement.
This would keep the permanent trolls in check.
Of course, reputation could be gamed and I don't have a solution for that yet. Perhaps weighted against the reputation/age of those who boosted you?
