:P
was just a shakespeare quote which came to mind because of someone following me who had these weird numbers :)

@freemo ah, that might be! i have seen this by people who migrated from twitter but you are right that it also could be account migration!

@freemo maybe i've gotten to be a bit tinoil-hatty the last years ;)

@bonifartius There is something in the water ;)

@freemo @bonifartius

Don't Mastodon account migrations move all the toots over also?

@Pat @bonifartius nope, you loose all toots and some followers

@freemo @bonifartius

So they need to export their account info and re-import if they want their toots to move also?

@Pat

You cant move toots

@bonifartius

@freemo @bonifartius

So what's the export function for? Can't someone export from one instance and import to another one?

@Pat @bonifartius

You can export your toots and people you follow. Import lets you follow them from other servers without moving. You cant import toots

@freemo @bonifartius

Wait. You can export your toots, but you can't import them?

That sounds like write-only memory.
