@hongminhee洪民憙 (Hong Minhee) wait can you explain this?! Can you now change your username and it doesn't kill all the old links to your posts?

@liaizon꧁ wakest ꧂ Yes, exactly!

You have a only chance to change your username.
If you change your username, your old username becomes available for others.
If you change your username, every old permalink with your old username will remain until someone takes your old username.

If you have a fediverse account, you can quote this note from your own instance. Search https://hackers.pub/ap/notes/01956c00-c3aa-7c92-97f3-167176e566de on your instance and quote it. (Note that quoting is not supported in Mastodon.)
