   @steve Your reinstall has created a jumble of mixed identities. I don't blame you, since there should definitely exist a better reinstall/migration method ;)
   
   But for the record, here's a couple of the issues I will look into easing for anyone doing the same in the future:
   
   * 'http://chirp.cooleysekula.net///user/1' was the original URI I had stored for you. (nicks are not part of URI, as you can change URI)
   * Apparently you had changed to HTTPS about a year ago, this will cause confusion regarding http:// or https:// in the beginning of the URI. Redirecting http to https is known to have caused issues for others.
   * I have no idea where those three slashes came from or what issues they may cause :]
   * Now you have reinstalled and also have a new UID on your own server, so the URI is https://chirp.cooleysekula.net/user/3 which means that any old subscription will not work
   
   ...the solution is of course to have a schema- and DNS-agnostic UID. Something like a cryptographic key fingerprint. For some reason !sn didn't think of this, so I've been pondering and preparing for how to do migrate without causing a massive split in the established federations :]

     @mmn Anything I can do on my end to ameliorate any of this?

     I think it's best if people just resubscribe to you (though this may require unsubscribing and then not just pressing 'subscribe' on the same profile, but actually performing the discovery routine again.)
     
     Other than that, just keep being interesting to subscribe to. :]

     Yes. The only way to keep your subscribers is to get a pet and post silly pictures of it now and then. Preferrably in weird clothing.

     @steve @mmn Yeah, bad news for me. Since CB died, I have no plan to keep pets until I work where I come home every night.

     @makitadoge You're all tough now, but I know deep inside dogs are afraid of cats :-) cc: @steve
