If the directory could save the last known adresses, to point to the new home of the contact.

AND your friendica node could get a clou, that an account on a sepcific node is not existing anymore, but is existing on another node or network.

This is just a raw idea, but maybe there is a way in future we could implement such a very helpfull automatic feature.

It would be nice, if there would be in future a "moved to" feature. People keep moving from one instance to another or changing the network like moving from Mastodon to friendica to pleroma to Hubzilla back to Friendica (or something).

From the directory standpoint, it wouldn't make sense to show "moved to" accounts. So it's all a matter of having this information available in Friendica, and for the directory to pick up on it to hide those profiles.

Currently we don't have got this information. But it should be possible to have it, once that we know how to handle the account moving in the future.
