Is nomadic identity technically possible?

[–] KelsonV@wandering.shop 5 points 2 years ago

@V4uban @anji Hubzilla has had nomadic identity for ages

[–] BarrenPlanet@mastodon.social 4 points 2 years ago

@V4uban @anji Yes, Hubzilla has it.

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.
