@zen@monyet.cc I updated the db and it seems like it’s fixed. Thanks for helping! The solution was the actor_id for the user account was still pointing to Frank_Bot URL, which is already invalid.
Oh wait… sorry @zen@monyet.cc I just realized I made a mistake there. T_T You actually cannot change your account name(only your display name) which I now understand the reason. I changed the account name a long time ago so I forgot that I changed the account name manually via the database without updating the actor_id and inbox_url correctly.
E.g. the actor_id should be https://monyet.cc/u/MonyetBot instead of https://monyet.cc/u/Frank_Bot, which was the old URL.
The reason you can’t change your account name is most probably everything relies on the actor_id to work, and if the actor_id is invalid, it won’t be able to federate. Even if they updated the actor_id and inbox_url, all your past post, comments and messages etc. should be tied to the old url, which won’t carry over after you change your account name.
I tried checking the foreign key contrainsts in the db but it seems like there aren’t any tables referencing actor_id, usually just the id(PK column) of the person table.

Ah yeah… that was the initial name for the account :/ So there’s nothing that can be done to fix it right?
