Did they ever address the problem of migration from a bad server?

For example, a scenario where your server dies and does not return. Or a malicious actor takes over and bans the user base. Or a honeypot encouraging user account migration, followed by bans.

In all 3 cases, you are effectively screwed the moment you migrate to a malicious server, or your server becomes malicious.
