sure you can just make a new one, but all of your old posts and comments won’t show up. Not to mention your DMs too

it seems kinda counterproductive to the goal of lemmy being federation where you can just move to another instance if yours gets bought by Elon or an admin goes corrupt, but it’s not made simple to do that.

I’ve seen many people be on lemmy.ml that would switch but they’ve been using it since the start of lemmy and they don’t wanna restart

I know mastodon has a little “hey this user has moved to @user@newinstance” popup but that’s not really that elegant either

    I get that, but in my opinion that is the bar for anyone regardless of account age; AI slop, bad faith arguing, general dickheaded behavior gets a block regardless of contributions or account age.

      Fair point, I guess I meant that account age is also a factor when determining whether to block someone or not or if they’re just joking or being a dick.

      It factors in because if its a pattern, it makes more sense to block them. If not, maybe they had a bad day or the tone of what they meant was off.

      Hell maybe I misunderstood what they meant.
