So, knowing many of my #Fediverse friends are using services other than #Mastodon, what will happen to those followers if I move Mastodon instance and initiate the migration and redirect?
Will they follow my new account? I suspect not. But why? Everyone has known for years the ideal is to build in portability — that beyond being a nice-to-have, it's actually more of a necessity to make this big project a success. Other ideas are rigorously implemented and fiercely defended. Why not this one?
