This is one reason that I think many people should consider running their own single-user instance or tiny instances for close friends/family.
One of the problems with centralization is literally the fact that this can happen. The more small servers the fedi is comprised of, the stronger it is. There are also a huge number of benefits to this configuration on an individual level as well.
EDIT: Re: importing/exporting your old account is, unfortunately, a thing that cannot be done currently. I'm happy to be corrected on that, though.

I don't know how to code so I don't know how to run my own instance. 💀
If it's ever something you want to try, it's one of the easier servers to self host and there's a lot of helpful resources out there. There really isn't any coding involved outside of editing a few configuration files unless you want there to be.
