I wish Matrix/Element had the kind of account portability Mastodon has— "social graph portability", let me change addresses while moving my room memberships/spaces on other people's friend lists.

I have never taken advantage of this feature on Mastodon, since on Mastodon I would want to take my post history with me, which you can't. But Matrix doesn't have the same notion of "post history", and also it constantly deletes your old chat histories claiming key errors so who cares

@mcc there once was a migration tool at, I think, https://ems.element.io/user-guide/migrate-your-existing-matrix-account that would join your new account to all rooms and leave them with your old one, but it seems to be just gone

If you have a fediverse account, you can quote this note from your own instance. Search https://chaos.social/users/ytvwld/statuses/116041733006032724 on your instance and quote it. (Note that quoting is not supported in Mastodon.)
