        Look like it won’t migrate the data, here’s what it says when I got to the option on my account:

        This action will move all followers from the current account to the new account
        Your current account's profile will be updated with a redirect notice and be excluded from searches
        No other data will be moved automatically
        

        However, you can do a data export and use the API to reload the data on the new account that way.

              I don’t care, I think it is fine the way it is. But the first point of the article is

              You can’t migrate your posts

              so that’s literally why I was clarifying that in the answer

              Worth noting that it’s perfectly possible to migrate data between instances.

              doesn’t really help here, because it is just partly true.

              So this is a fair point, if they really want this it’s a reason to leave. A dumb one at that imo but I am being downvoted here for just stating facts.

                Ok fair enough. I didn’t downvote you myself honestly you are saying anything that makes it reasonable to downvote imho.
