  • It would not be that hard. There just needs to be a way to federate the change.

    1. Authenticate the new account. This could be as simple as an account admin code that is only available when logged in, or authenticated through the old server.

    2. Scrape the old account for links and backlinks. Federate changes so that they link to the new account.

    3. You might need a workaround for mentions and follows. Those would be spread across other users’ accounts, so probably not fixable.

    4. Copy any content that was not already federated to the new host.

    If devs wanted to, they would. They don’t want to. I guess you could ask them why.





















  • Consider somebody who escaped generational poverty through athletics, film, etc. One of the smartest ways for somebody without a wealthy support system to end the cycle of generational poverty is to own property. Now, say that the sports star or a film star wants to by a secondary house for a friend, a teacher, a family member who helped along the way to expand that cycle of breaking generational poverty. Or maybe they want to purchase their childhood home. Whatever the reason may be, they are now being penalized for helping others.
