@VincentTunru@fosstodon.org how can an account boost without broadcasting? Isn’t that built into how boosts work and what they mean? And yes, otherwise a new account boosting/reposting all the old posts would probably annoy all the followers who were migrated.
From a user experience perspective, this also seems odd and a bit misleading, even if only viewed on someone’s profile page. Boosts/reposts usually imply someone promoting someone else’s posts. Self-boosting from a new account feels a bit like spam / sockpuppetry, while boosting/reposting from the same account is at least transparent about what you are doing.
