@timp @five I’m wondering if that asks too much of one’s followers. I’ve migrated once, so far and changed my old display name to "(Old account)". The old profile (@rauschma) points to my new ID, as does the latest post.

@rauschma if federation is to succeed, it's going to eventually become very painless to switch. For both you and the followers. I know *how* to build it. The hard part is guiding everyone in the right direction @rauschma @timp

@five @timp @rauschma @rauschma Any chance the "how" part is captured somewhere that I can read to try to catch up? Also, more general design discussion, above and beyond https://github.com/tootsuite/mastodon/blob/master/docs/Specs-and-RFCs-used.md?
