Two owner decisions of 2026-10-05, both recorded in ROADMAP:
- After a verified Move the personas following the old account follow the new one, in the same lists, and a mute or
block of the old account carries over, as Mastodon does it.
- A direct message to one account on a server whose NodeInfo names Lemmy before 1.0 or Mbin goes as a ChatMessage,
the one place PrivaPub decides by a server's software (invariant 17). G-0008 is closed.
Mbin addresses its private messages to the recipient's profile page, so a Create addressed to a persona's /@name now
reaches the persona. Checked live: moves 8/8, Lemmy 0.19 30/30, Mbin 26/26 with messages both ways. The software
theory runs alone, since every test's peer shares 127.0.0.1.

PrivaPub dropped Move as an unknown type and showed no `moved` on accounts.
Now a Move is believed as Mastodon believes it: the moving account sends it
about itself, and the new account, read again from its own server, names it
in alsoKnownAs (now kept on remote accounts). The old account then shows the
new one as `moved` in the Mastodon API. The personas following it keep
following it: following the new account on their behalf would tell another
server about them, so that waits for the owner.
Checked live against GoToSocial (scenarios/moves.sh: an alias, a move, 6
checks).
