Is nomadic identity technically possible?
@V4uban @anji Hubzilla has had nomadic identity for ages
Couldn't you just download a file containing your follow and ban list and upload that to a new account?
You could, but that just moves the people you follow. Your followers would still follow the old account. Mastodon has a migration option which forces users to unfollow the old account and follow the new account. But nomadic identity would really free users from their username being tied to a particular server.
@V4uban @anji Yes, Hubzilla has it.
