   They can't migrate to a new domain name. What a stupid protocol. It's so over, Mastobros.

     @alex Is this not pretty much what NAS just did to become NA.S? Or was NAS not Mastodon?

     @Flick They didn't migrate. They opened a new server and all the users had to sign up again and rebuild their following relationships.

     @alex I see the distinction, but (from my POV) it was pretty seamless if the users used the migrate function: I didn’t even have to re-follow their new accounts. (Granted there are a couple of accounts I know are stuck in limbo.)

     This possibly says more about the relative tech abilities / level of commitment of the admins / users of the two servers?

     @Flick The "migrate" function is a tacked-on feature with very poor UX. You have to go through a rigorous process to do it, and it doesn't always work. You can't migrate your posts, just followers. The domain NEEDS to be online for it to work, so it won't work if the domain gets seized or you get banned. Typically the people who need to migrate most aren't able to do it. NoAgendaSocial was a best-case scenario, and they still lost a lot in the move.
     
     However I'm not denying this is a social problem. It's a social problem that can be solved through technical means, by letting users sign in with public-key cryptography, instead of having a single website control their account.

     @lucas @fenarinarsa Seems like it's working fine... but I agree with you that post isn't going through. I'm trying to make it happen and it refuses. So I think it may be something about the post itself. 🤔

     @alex @fenarinarsa Hmm i think Mostr might be slightly broken again? I replied from the Nostr side with this note: note172qlqwq49knfr3cw7w4yhnlztlur3hshewk2d99x6l6y8gvnwl9sdujaqp

     But I don't see that reply when viewing from the Mastodon side.

     @lucas @fenarinarsa I can force-federate it fine, but the bridge didn't deliver it in the first place: https://gleasonator.com/@d49a9023a21dba1b3c8306ca369bf3243d8b44b8f0b6d1196607f7b0990fa8df@mostr.pub/posts/Aep014shvBeiYvtG4m

     @alex @Flick

     If the domain gets seized you're pretty much out of luck with many (any?) different protocols AFAIK. Migration procedures for just about anything will require both the old and the new to be online at the same time. Correct me if you know of a protocol that has user submitted data and can handle that situation.

     @dragestil @Flick It would cause so many unwanted notifications over a prolonged period. People would defederate you over it.

     @alex is it possible to migrate the posts by exporting and importing?

     What I actually find amusing about that is there's literally no way to bring the website into compliance with Afghani law, the domain name itself IS the violation.

     @alex even if only original posts that do not mention anyone are imported?
