Gregory's Server
I wonder what average lifetime of a Fediverse handle is. Compared to an e-mail address, and handles on other social media systems.
I suspect it is much shorter. How much of this might be intentional vs inadvertent?
Examples: firefish.social disappearing. Moderation policies on a server changing. People trying out the Fediverse and only settling on a place after some trial and error.
What can we do to make this process as smooth as possible?
@J12t We have so many servers that have such weak affinity for users -- goofy names, geographical, or broad professional group. We need more servers that represent real-world affiliations -- your family, your work, your university. They're much less likely to turn over, and when they do, there's a strong reason for it.
