@bjoern I simply wouldn't defend "the right to move". But I'd defend "the right to choose provider". One is physically impossible to do (in a secure _and_ user friendly way), the other simple as SMTP.
@bjoern @HerraBRE I'll start by ignoring the technical and social difficulties (domain name changing... causing troubles both for lookups/computers as well as humans who remember the old address...)...
What you mention first, @bjoern, is not account migration. "Without having to start from scratch" and "without losing your connections" is only the transferral of subscriptions. We could discuss bi-directional transferrals (but why would you be able to force a remote party to subscribe to a new, possibly untrusted, server?!).
The "right to move" is still there. Restoration of backed up data is however incredibly hard to do without breaking the laws of physics.
@celesteh Yes, all distributed single-state networks will store everything ever posted forever in one way or another. (there could be some sort of voting mechanism involved, but then you would introduce authority and the entire point of having a distributed system is to remove the points of failure that arise from authorities).

pettter ✅I think copyright reform would be a whole lot more attractive to a lot of people (creators in particular) with a more reasonable and socialist society, where you don't need to worry about your family being taken care of in case of an emergency, and there never being a large enough pile of money to feel secure (short of several million dollars).
working under capitalism can be pretty rough sometimes, so remember to take care of yourselves... drink plenty of water, exercise your muscles and brains, sleep well, abolish unjustified power, bring down the private property of the means of production, eat the rich
Went downstairs, opened the screen door and something fell onto the step. Turns out, it was this little Spotted Velvet Gecko (a young one, about 8cm (3inches) long.
