I’m just curious, since I tend to get attached to my accounts but I also like having access to all information so I don’t want to use a defederated instance. If, say, kbin got overrun by bad actors and was defederated by everyone else, is the only option to jump ship? Unfortunately I don’t have the capability to selfhost or I would to avoid such problems.

What are your contingency plans if such a thing occurs?

    I have 3 differents accounts on different instances with the same username. Moving to another instance would be seamless for me, even though my post and comment history would be gone.

      I have multiple under the same username too but I still fear for when it might be taken, for example x_x aaah

      I hope people develop a transfer option soon (with limitations of course).

      I have multiple accounts on different instances with different usernames. I wouldn’t blink an eye if I lost my post and comment history as I keep a local copy of posts and comments I like and move on. Would love to see a transfer option, but there is something special about packing up and starting over again where no one knows my name or has some preconceived notion about who I am as a person because I wrote an opinion they did not like.
