I guess you’re right, followers will automatically unfollow the old account and follow the new one too
Nothing will be moved.

From what I could find on my own with a couple minutes of research (currently at school) I know there’s at least two independent relays active, the WhiteWind one and the BlackSky one. There’s a blogpost written by the WhiteWind developers about the performance costs of running a Relay, and checking it out again I see they mention the recent update to improve performance at the top of the page now.
I said this before but since learning how they work on a conceptual surface level I’ve liked and felt more optimistic about ATProto than ActivityPub. I think I misspoke in the way I described how I felt about the Fediverse and gave the wrong idea about what I think. But I don’t want to make this reply longer than it has to be.
I’m not going to say either is better than the other, from what I can tell it’s just two different models of decentralization that are radically different, but I like ATProto’s approach more What I am going to say though is that I do wish there were more ATProto based services, and I find it odd how ATProto and Bluesky have not seen the same sprawl of clients and services ActivityPub has, but that may just be a question of age (as iirc AP is much older than ATProto). Bluesky’s got its fair share of Clients but AP honestly puts it to shame, I genuinely wonder why.

I couldn’t do that when I moved Mastodon instances, I could only set up a notice that was little more than a built-in “Moved to x” pinned post
Don’t know about the other ones though, I have to say that
- Comment on Bluesky CEO Jay Graber Is Stepping Down 1 week ago:
I’d like to hijack the top comment to say that despite news like these, a friend of mine who’s been involved with development (interacted with developers, looked at code…) says that recent updates have made the ATProto service stack much more optimized and accessible. There’s also quite a few “Atmosphere” services already, such as leaflet.pub
And I’m gonna be honest most implementations of ActivityPub I’ve seen so far have felt more like a normal social media with a “talk to other servers!” gimmick

Personally Matrix has been kind of annoying to set up. I tried it around last year and after a bunch of issues creating an account (email link wasn’t working I think) I used it for a little, then all messages became “could not decrypt” and I gave up on it

I thought it stood for DiskDump
- Comment on Discord will restrict your account next month unless you scan ID or face 5 weeks ago:
Maybe things changed but last I checked Matrix kinda sucked. I’m not sure how it’s any more secure than Discord but it has worse quality for voice and video calls, so it just seems like Discord but worse, although no microtransactions is nice, although although there aren’t any account decoration in the slightest either so

Agreed. I could only get on it after it 1. Actually started running the vast majority of video games (Wine and Proton developments mainly post-pandemic) and 2. Had decent performance thanks to Wayland (to this day KDE on X11 using my older GT1030 has embarrassing performance, but I’ve switched to an RX9060 so :3)

It’s kinda complicated because a good chunk of that is data that is technically redownloadable, but has been tweaked (most of my movies are a multiplexed high-res eng version merged with audio from lower-res dub.) Either way, thank you for the suggestions
