So... What's this place all about, then?

So, hmm, just learned that Mastodon account migration _doesn't_ migrate toots. Personally, that severely reduces my interest in migrating servers, even if a different one would be a better fit. I mean, I wouldn't want to lose my posts, especially the longer I'm on here.

Looks like other people have this concern too: https://github.com/mastodon/mastodon/issues/12423

For the time being, I guess my account's staying at mastodon.social

Yes, some games might have certain things/mechanics/events tied to certain appearance choices, but
A.) Maybe we shouldn't design that way if we don't have to, and
B.) If something MUST be tied to character appearance, maybe design for some kind of graceful handling for changes

And who's to say the player just might want to change their look for the sake of it, on a whim? Maybe one day they want to look one way, and then one day another. Why prevent that?

Normalize games with character creators allowing you to make cosmetic character changes at any time, including gender and body type. If it needs to reload the save, that's fine, but no one should have to start a new game if they change their mind about how their character looks
