something is rotten in the state of denmark

@bonifartius How ya figure? Sounds like an account that migrated recently is all.

@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 ;)

@freemo @bonifartius

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

@freemo @bonifartius

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

@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.

@Pat @freemo @bonifartius WORN, write once, read never.
Seems like you can move, but your archive does not move with you - i'd save anything you want to save externally any way. Not like you control the server those toots are on.
