I can federate message across hosts, fine, but I can't move my username to another host, so it doesn't work like email, because with email the namespace is defined at the DNS level, and I just forward requests to whatever email host I want to use. Being able to leave one server and join another while maintaining an identity (say, a public key for instance) is on Matrix's to do list, they haven't decided how to do it yet afaik.

https://github.com/matrix-org/matrix-spec-proposals/blob/kegan/pseudo-ids/proposals/4014-pseudonymous-identities.md https://github.com/matrix-org/matrix-spec-proposals/blob/keg... is how we’re doing it, and it’s being implemented currently in Dendrite.

With webfinger, you should be able to do exactly that. Migration of accounts is not in E-Mail, but while email has mx servers, Matrix (and most nu-fed stuff, not sure about XMPP) should have webfinger support for that. edit: Okay, not actually webfinger. But [0] has instructions for the `/well-known/matrix/server` way. It only talks about subdomains, but it should work across domains. Possibly also with the SRV header.
