It's crazy to me that whatever program you used to make that account on that server didn't automatically force a backup location on the same device where the account is used. On Android, some folder. On desktop, some folder. And it's crazy to me that we can't just import all of our votes, comments, and posts in that backup to another account on the same device or another.

That is a terrible system. No answers from me. Just questions

Doing that requires content addressing. It's what atproto is built around (bluesky's protocol) but nobody's made a proper forum variant of it yet
