As discussed a few times before, but never documented:

Upgrade Mastodon 4.0.2
Delete old inactive accounts from current database (potentially useful script)
Check for name collisions with existing usernames on kosmos.org
Introduce new service flag(s) for LDAP (so users can activate specific services later)?
Create custom mailer message template for explaining the account migration to Mastodon users, link to Discourse?
Turn off invites in Mastodon admin panel (i.e. close registrations on .social entirely)
Create kosmos.org accounts for kosmos.social users, unless they already have one with the same name
Plan a maintenance window, notify users via Mastodon announcements
Switch Mastodon config to LDAP auth
Enable Mastodon service integration in Akkounts (admin service settings page)
Notify users of account migration and where to manage the new one (password reset necessary)

After migration

Include Mastodon data in Webfinger response for kosmos.org (in akkounts), makes username@kosmos.org discoverable on the fediverse
Resolve .social addresses as Lightning Address
Add prominent login link to kosmos.org website (currently very difficult to find)
Notify .org users without Mastodon accounts about the new service
