   @ondrej There are additional pitfalls with swapping decentralized social media software on the same domain that have to do with asymmetric cryptography. Remote servers storing a public key for username@domain may reject messages coming from a new key created by the swapped in software for the same username@domain.

     @aral Why not user@my.domain?

     If you’re setting up your own fediverse presence at your own domain, don’t make the same mistake I did and call it mastodon.my.domain. Give it a generic name like social.my.domain, activity.my.domain, fedi.my.domain or something similar. You don’t want to tie an endpoint for an open protocol to a single implementation or perpetuate the myth that #Mastodon is the #fediverse.

     (Yes, you can migrate to a different subdomain later but it’s not a one-click process.)
