I commented on a Mastodon issue regarding supporting multiple domains.
I think this can be super important for making users' identities independent of the instances they connect to, and can be part of a seamless user migration strategy.

Hat-tip to @danyork for the idea.
I followed up to this with a comment on the Mastodon user migration issue.
Folks there have been thinking about migration for quite some time, but after quickly skimming the thread it looks this idea hadn't really come up.

Have now realized what is probably the main roadblock for this: TLS certs.
At small scale (thanks to letsencrypt) that's no biggie, but at large scale having a cert per-user may be unworkable. User-configurable TLS certs also requires integration that may generally be missing.
I still think this is worth doing, but first draft implementations of this would probably be HTTP only.
