I’m wondering if that means there may be a functional difference between blocking the bridge vs adding the #nobridge tag?

@HistoPol @jamie @oliphant @snarfed.org @luca @PCOWandre @chronohart @snarfed The alternative is making a new account and re-adding the same people.
I had to do that when I moved from Mastodon to Friendica.
I didn’t knew this thing that you can’t migrate your follower from mastodon to friendica 😐
From mastodon to pleroma (and i think also misskey) it works.

@luca I understand your difficulties, but always remember that Friendica is compatible with ActivityPub BUT it works with a different protocol and its profiles are particular objects that contain a kind of unique key
@shiri
@informapirata @luca it used to work with a different protocol, Friendica has been ActivityPub based longer than Mastodon has been alive.
Always remember that Mastodon is well established to be a poor neighbor in the AP community, not supporting the full spec and often implementing their own non-standard solutions.

Well, migrating followers (just followers) should really be a standard feature of ActivityPub then.
One that must be implemented by all the supposed AP compatible projects
Nobody is gonna buy the theoretical reach of all the same people, like real freedom to change fediverse provider.

I did this using a Tool migrating from the (now) #DeadBirdSite.
Still, not being able to migrate the convos is NOT an “alternative”, but an *escape hatch*."
One example, that many will know:
Imagine, that you invented 1000’s of hours uploading and curating pics and shorts on your #Instagram account.
For whatever reason, you cannot maintain your account. Starting a new one, you lose all your work (it’s not just…

…just the pics, but the interaction with contacts.)
PS:
I know:
…there are tools for exporting (beside the point)
…many people here even autodelete there posts (utterly different use-case)
…it’s better than on most corporate sites (yes, but still just “rudimentary” flexibility, at least on #Mastodon.)
…that #Firefish(?) (still?) supports own-post migration (but that was no choice when I joined)
