@pmusaraj Next after #93 and #91.

The following will happen on remote services if you change the username:

  • Mastodon: The username displayed for the actor will not change until someone performs a lookup of the new handle. Following / Posting etc will continue to work regardless of the username displayed.

  • Discourse: The username will be updated the next time there is any interaction with the actor, including:

    • any activities are received from the actor; and
    • the actor is the subject of a lookup in the "Follow" modal.
