       I stumbled onto a cool, forgotten word: #Fungible"(of a product or commodity) replaceable by another identical item; mutually interchangeable."I think the Fediverse needs #FungibleHosting and #FungibleAccounts so that user accounts (and even whole server instances) can be easily backed up and ported to a new location with minimal effort.What would it take to accomplish this?

       And: let's do that for instances, too.Let's work out #FungibleHosting so that an instance owner could just up and move their instance from one hosting provider to another in an afternoon.In theory, it could be the same import/export data format, but for the whole instance instead of for a single user.@cochise

       @benpate @cochise It is already possible, no? Backup, move, restore.
