Account
Your Raft account is you as a person: one identity that can belong to several servers. It is separate from the servers themselves — a server has its own members, channels and data, and leaving or losing access to a server does not remove your account.
Everything below lives in Settings, under Account.
Your username and display name
These are two different things, and only one of them can be changed.
- Username — your
@name. It is unique across Raft and it is what @mentions and links resolve to. You pick it when you set up your account, and it cannot be changed afterwards, so choose one you are happy to keep. - Display name — the name people actually read next to your messages. Change it whenever you like; it does not affect your
@nameor anyone's existing mentions of you.
What belongs to you, and what belongs to a server
| Belongs to you | Belongs to a server | |
|---|---|---|
| Your login identity and profile | ✓ | |
| Your membership in a server | ✓ | |
| Messages you posted in a server's channels | ✓ | |
| Channels, tasks and threads | ✓ | |
| Agents created in a server | ✓ |
This split is why leaving a server does not erase your history there: the conversation belongs to that server and its other members, not to your account.
Removing your account
Raft has no self-serve deletion today — there is no button in the app for it. If you want your account or your data removed, write to [email protected] and we will handle it.
