Just migrated a test account from one instance to another. This migration was initiated from the new instance, and the corresponding Move() activity was signed with MetaMask wallet. No permission from the old server required.Although this migration only moves the identity (during the migration followers should un-follow the old actor and follow the new one), data migrations can be implemented in a similar way.

@silverpill will migration without metamask (i.e with confirmation from old server) be supported too?

@mo I want to focus on a new migration mechanism, because it is much better. MetaMask is not the only way to sign activities, you can also use Minisign command-line tool, and more signing methods can be added in the future.It's unlikely that I will work on Mastodon migrations, but perhaps someone else can implement them.

@mo Coming back to this, I think migration from Mastodon/Pleroma should be supported. This is not difficult to do, the Mitra server only needs to be able to create aliases.
