    Does everyone who’s following the old account automatically refollow you when you do that?

    It doesn’t port over any old comments/posts, but I’m pretty sure that when anyone @'s you, it’s forwarded to the new account.

    IMO it’d still be useful to be able to use an identity you control, like a domain name.

    Mastodon already does this

      That’s only for showing a domain on your profile. What I meant is using a domain as your username, so if you own example.com and used that as your username people would mention you by writing @example.com. A DNS record delegates the domain to the right server.
