Reading through the #JustMyToots hashtag, I saw some posts about migration, and this led me to wonder... if anyone is working on (or has released) a tool to allow you to migrate your POSTS to another server, not just follows and followers? Migrating reactions may be tricky/not ok from a consent perspective, but original posts should be possible to move.

We went through this back in the LiveJournal days, when DreamJournal and other services made this possible, so people didn't lose all their post history. When this is possible with Fedi it will make moving instances less like leaving a whole social network.

Data portability tools need to be made for ALL socials btw

We aren't really truly respected as Digital Citizens in the social space until we are able to own ALL our data and MOVE it.

Imagine a world where we can take ALL our tweets, all our Facebook posts, all our MySpace posts, all our G+ posts and yes, all our LiveJournal posts, let's face it, many of us here have at least half a decade of those (that we all downloaded and archived, of course, which has been possible) and deposit them into Fedi, so people (or just ourselves) can search through them (if we want!)

But we should be enabling this at the VERY least for instance migration!

@colinfry666 good points! I'd maybe consider hosting my own instance to have functionality like that though. I'd like to have my whole #databody in one place, as much as that could be possible...

btw, as something of an #introduction, if any new users (or returnees like mahself) want to follow me I may post in the future about things like:
