    Yes exactly - those URLs contain the domain name, so you can’t change servers for a user as their ID is tied to the domain.

        Well no they can’t, because that’s not part of ActivityPub. In fact ActivityPub mandates HTTP URLs. Of course, any extension can choose to change that, but since nobody is actually supporting magnet links, it’s not relevant.
