Do you lose all of your followers if you migrate to another instance?

@kyletorpey yes. the instances/nodes are isolated. like email servers attached to an @ domain.

all messages are sync'd/federated but your sign-in is local to the instance/node.

@chaeseco seems like it could be solved with blockstack. have users be able to change their name via entry on the blockchain, each instance automatically checks the blockchain for changes.
