Maybe we should just host the D6 (Democratic 6) instead of the G7. Without [execrate deleted] present, less security would be required and we could all discuss how to operate in a world where the US has wandered off muttering to itself and shouting at buildings and passersby.

I switched to a custom handle, so I'm now @tom.malaher.org
However it doesn't seem that there is a "redirect". The old profile URL results in "Unable to resolve handle".
It does seem that followers have been linked to the new handle, so at least I don't have to notify everyone to switch.
