anonymous asked

can i change my @ or do i have to migrate?

fedi side is hell for now im afraid. you need to migrate due technical limitations on activitypub.

We recommend the "slingshot method"

Create an account in mastodon.social, migrate your wafrn account to that one, then migrate your mastodon.social account to the new wafrn account

bsky side: SUPER EASY BARELY AN INCONVINIENCE. You actualy need to dm us for some fuckery on our side, but super easy

@admin @gabboman what do you mean by technical limitations of ActivityPub? Ghost and WriteFreely both support username changes

@admin@app.wafrn.net @liaizon@social.wake.st

they can break in other software. not all software supports it yet

Wafrn also needs to do some stuff and ªªªªª

@admin@app.wafrn.net @liaizon@social.wake.st

I mean we have to do some stuff but we are waiting for other software to standarize first

@gabboman @admin I am following a few Ghost blogs that changed their handles and mastodon was able to deal with it, the name updated and I was still following it. The old posts are even still there with the new name. and the threads seem to still be there too
