So is there a way to link identities betweeen different GNU Social networks? If I switch from Mastodon to a different network, I can still talk to everyone but do I lose all my followers?
I guess this isn't any better or worse than the situation with email addresses. If you decide you don't want to use Gmail anymore, you gotta give everybody your new address.
It's pretty frustrating how bad the internet identity situation still is.
@chris_martin mobile numbers are even worse because you have to SMS people
