A question about #ActivityPub account migration.
Is it possible to use it to combine multiple accounts into one?
That is, can I `movedTo` all my old accounts to one new account, and set *several* `alsoKnownAs` on my new account's actor?

I mean, I see no reason why this wouldn't work. `alsoKnownAs` is an array of names.
I suppose if Alice is following both Bob and Chuck, then B & C are merged into Dave, she won't "double follow".
But I wonder if there are any other gotchas?

@Edent It should work. But of course, there is a possibility of some popular implementation not being able to handle it.

You can do separate migrations, one at a time but yeah

Three different #ActivityPub spec guides - three different answers!
FEP-7628 says a Move has an ID, To, & CC.
https://codeberg.org/fediverse/fep/src/branch/main/fep/7628/fep-7628.mdSocialDocs says just an ID, no To nor CC.
https://socialdocs.org/docs/guides/account-migration/#the-move-activitySWICG says no ID, nor To, nor CC.

@Edent - fun - just knowing this exists has me thinking of where to try it.
