  • You know they are the same user because mastodon has a protocol for Migration. Basically, you announce on the old instance what your new handle is and confirm from the new instance that this is where you came from. Mastodon then migrates your followers (and blockers). So you can change instances transparent to others.

    Of course, this migration is more work than simply creating a fresh account, so i doubt this helps against spammers, but it may help against annoying people.





  • That was also my question. A broader question is how to access services on the local network that are announced through local DNS? Like your router’s web interface or any similar device.

    Can you have split routing? Most queries go to our preferred DNSoverTLS endpoint, but some go to DNS53 on the local network.

    This would also solve the captive portal if the host used to detect captive portals is always resolved locally.
