      But you can’t really? If I remember correctly you still lose all the posts, followers and pretty much everything that you would expect to keep.

      Technically you keep your account but let’s be honest, you don’t in the sense people want.

      Maybe my knowledge is dated but that is what I recall about moving accounts.
