Comment on Hollywood stars and geeks unite to billionaire-proof social media
spartanatreyu@programming.dev 1 week agoDoes everyone who’s following the old account automatically refollow you when you do that?
It doesn’t port over any old comments/posts, but I’m pretty sure that when anyone @'s you, it’s forwarded to the new account.
IMO it’d still be useful to be able to use an identity you control, like a domain name.

That’s only for showing a domain on your profile. What I meant is using a domain as your username, so if you own
example.comand used that as your username people would mention you by writing@example.com. A DNS record delegates the domain to the right server.
