"If you have control of a domain name, you can have account portability on the fediverse."

Indeed, if AP servers like Mastodon are going to extend #AccountPortability to also migrate posts, then that legacy archive could be a huge risk reduction resource for mods when deciding whether they want to accept the person who's migrating.

Because, unlike a brand new account, these folks arrive with a browsable track record. And regardless of what you think about public-access search, nobody sane would object to improved moderator tools making that archive easier to skim. 6/7

Can anyone tell me what the potential risks are of trying out this experimental tool for migrating Matrix accounts from one homeserver to another?
