@freemo Hi, I noticed that mastodon (or at least this instance) doesn't allow you to change your handle, it might be like this across mastodon/fediverse since I'm fairly new to mastodon & the fediverse as a whole.

Would this be a hard feature to implement? I see it as a feature that a lot of the new users migrating from twitter might be seeking

@STORM @freemo I read that the handle is only unique to each server—so there can be multiple instances of a handle across the fediverse. That’s because each server is an island unto itself. It was listed as one reason Twitter users were probably slow to adopt Mastodon after its launch.

@Pedant @freemo yeah i figured this out after i posted this, i dont mind my handle though lol. And i agree they will be slow to migrate over
