Welcome to our virtual third place, The Café.
Come on in and make a new human connection over a cup of coffee (or Teh Tarik). This is a casual community, do whatever you want, share your oyen pics, your frustrations, and even organize a weekend picnic with the community. The world is your oyster.
Rules are simple, be kind and civil with each other. As with any other café, rude patrons will be kicked out.

I'm going to open a github issue on this so I'll just link it here later haha
Oh wait... sorry @zen@monyet.cc I just realized I made a mistake there. T_T You actually cannot change your account name(only your display name) which I now understand the reason. I changed the account name a long time ago so I forgot that I changed the account name manually via the database without updating the actor_id and inbox_url correctly. E.g. the actor_id should be https://monyet.cc/u/MonyetBot instead of https://monyet.cc/u/Frank_Bot, which was the old URL.
The reason you can't change your account name is most probably everything relies on the actor_id to work, and if the actor_id is invalid, it won't be able to federate. Even if they updated the actor_id and inbox_url, all your past post, comments and messages etc. should be tied to the old url, which won't carry over after you change your account name.
I tried checking the foreign key contrainsts in the db but it seems like there aren't any tables referencing actor_id, usually just the id(PK column) of the person table.
lol 2.0 😂
