   Mastodon's migration is woefully inadequate, though. Partly because of ActivityPub's identity tied to the hosting server, partly because Mastodon refuses to import profile history from an inbound source.

     @osma @m @benny @feditips @stephan This is not universal to AP, though (e.g. Firefish does import posts when moving accounts).

     It's also not universal to what all users care about. The term "microblogging" notwithstanding, I expect a lot of users think of it closer to ephemeral conversation; posting something today and having some people read and reply to it is more important than whatever we posted five years ago. If I was posting something that I expected to still care about five years later, I would more likely post it to an old-school web site / blog, and then just post a link to it here.
