@feditips @hadilq @saket yes, it's strange to me too. Why the new server cannot handle that load!. Also I don't understand why the old server should keep the toots of moved accounts. It's not cost free to keep them. With current model we're forcing them to remove old posts, or other similar decisions, which makes Mastodon an unreliable solution.

@feditips @saket you are right. It wasn't a question! I was referring to this: " Until mastodon adds support for migrating posts, it's a non starter for many people imo."

@feditips @saket However, first you redirected the attention by the fact that the old post will stay in the old server, without mentioning why the old server should take care of old toots that have no user in that server. Anyway! In your second attempt you are talking about sudden migration and a lot of data the new server should handle, which is stating the obvious!

@feditips @saket
Yes! The new server should handle the toots of its users. Maybe they should charge them for it. Regarding being a sudden event the new server can report the progress and take its time.

I'm just trying to state that this is a real issue and you should admit it to be able to move forward.

@saket @feditips I am a fan of fediverse, so don't get me wrong, but you didn't answer his question! It's a problem that migration is expensive in Mastodon, which defeats the expectations of a federated network. We should admit the problem first to fix it.

@e_urq you reached me emotionally, but on the other side! Before explaining, let's make it clear that I think laws should be gender neutral, so in current society that we have bias against trans people, I'm on their side. But it doesn't mean "trans children" makes any sense to me! We don't allow children to be accountable to decide for a car, so we issue car licenses after a certain ages, but children can decide for permanent changes on their bodies?! \
