       I’m very excited to see the discussion for the @Mastodon post migration issue has picked back up. This is probably the single largest gap between rhetoric and reality on #Mastodon. It’s anecdata, but *every singe person* I mention account migration to immediately asks “oh, so my posts can move with me.” This is, unfortunately, immidiately followed up with disappointment that their posts stay behind. Coupled with the recent push to make mastodon.social the default for the iOS app… we need a way for users to move around SEAMLESSLY. We can make all the technical excuses we want, but if the process doesn’t work it’s not really account migration. Until we have post support, we should probably say we have “social graph” migration, not “account migration,” or we’re really just lying and setting up people to be let down.https://github.com/mastodon/mastodon/issues/12423

       @cd24 @Mastodon on the contrary, many people I know, myself included, have posts set to auto-delete after a relatively short time.As a person wiser than me has said, anyone going through your historical posts is unlikely to be your friend

       @luciedigitalni @cd24 @Mastodon The “probably not your friend” angle isn’t quite that clear cut. For example, a lot of artists and photographers post their work and would actively want visitors to view their posts as far back as possible. Of course, they are also taking up way more space on the servers than primarily text posters. On that note, I’d be happy if there was an automated mechanism to store my posted images on my own server and link to them.
