Allow actor username to be changed
@pmusaraj Next after https://github.com/discourse/discourse-activity-pub/pull/93 and https://github.com/discourse/discourse-activity-pub/pull/91.
The following will happen on remote services if you change the username:
-
Mastodon: The username displayed for the actor will not change until someone performs a lookup of the new handle. Following / Posting etc will continue to work regardless of the username displayed.
-
Discourse: The username will be updated the next time there is any interaction with the actor, including:
- any activities are received from the actor; and
- the actor is the subject of a lookup in the "Follow" modal.
