True, and this is something that Bluesky actually seems to do better. Your posts are stored in a “PDS” (personal data store), so in theory they’re not tied to any particular instance.
I hope that a future version of the Fediverse design / ActivityPub considers how to handle this issue. Still, I’d much rather lose my past posts than lose my social graph. Past posts can probably be archived, but it’s much harder to track down people you used to be mutuals with on a different account and follow each-other.
