Calckey looks like it has some pretty awesome features. However, using it as a primary account would mean migrating and changing my handle. This makes me think that Bluesky may be onto something regarding "account portability" in the AT protocol. Being able to keep the same handle when migrating between providers sounds really appealing.

@carlwgeorge We're going to try to make migration easier with post import. That's being tested, in fact!

@atomicpoet That's great, I know people that have migrated between Mastodon instances and were frustrated with losing their post history. But that isn't the same thing as keeping the same handle. Decoupling provider and identify intrigues me. I'm not an expert but that doesn't seem to be a possibility in ActivityPub.
