Ability to change username in a Misskey instance

[orzklv]

Summary

At the moment, users can't change their username and they have to create another profile. It somehow hurts the platform as users have to move their contents to the new user. Will there be a solution for this case or is it already implemented on dev?

I think there's some existing bug for this but can't find one 🤔 (Edit: #10681)

This is technically not impossible since actor IDs are already unique in Misskey. The tricky part is that, what would it mean for Mastodon compatibility?

ローカル内で引越しの動作を対外的に配信すれば一応可能だと思う

There's some discussion about this here as well: mastodon/mastodon#10745

（現状、ローカル間でのaccount migrationでもMoveは配信されているはず…）

usernameの変更は、ノートのテキスト内のメンションの書き換えが唯一厄介なだけだと思っている

actor IDが変わらない引っ越しを処理できるのか確認が必要ですね

引っ越しではなくpreferredUsernameのupdate Personじゃないかしら

これエイリアスにすればどうにでもなるわ

それが理想的ですが、旧ソフトでサポートされなくて問題が発生しそうです

Just wanted to leave this issue here about preferredUsername w3c/activitypub#309
