But you don’t have to delete the old account, it’s still there. It’s just like having a new email address, only easier in many ways.

I think it’s best not to get too attached to your profile, I’ve moved several times and if anything it’s nice to throw off the weight occasionally. It’s not like there’s any karma to lose, it’s not like your past posts and comments go anywhere. You can export/import all your settings, including subscriptions, blocks etc. I can’t think of anything else you’d need.

I’m rarely in the position where I put my shoes on at the same time as my socks. Socks go on when I get dressed, shoes go on when I go out, unless maybe I’m camping in a small tent getting dressed rarely coincides with when I go out. I assume this is the case for most people.
