@Gargron what about updating existing posts with a new source instance, can activity pub do that? Mastodon apparently can't. If it did I could move to a different instance and take my content and followers with me.
i think one thing the fediverse could "learn" from AT is having DNS used purely for lookup rather than stopping there for identification. But even so, there are still other existing ways to do it. HTTP 301/302 redirects would allow translating DNS to DNS at least. And if you really wanted to do something similar to AT, you could just have a URN resolver for current locations...

@kolya @Gargron it could if people cared to implement it
