When an account is banned does support offer an export?
My experience with similar 'some things are okay, we know it when we see it' - is that support is extremely hostile if it responds (vimeo) .. non-existant if you are banned (google, meta / facebook)
and most often "sorry everything is deleted, your content, friends list, messages - all gone." (all of the above including tumblr)
So yeah, building content and friend's lists on other people's farmland is a thing of the past. with censorship that costs you friends and data people are better off self hosting and doing the fediverse thing, or going to places that explicitly allow almost all explicit things.
There was a time when flickr was very cool for sharing and making friends with people in niches that was to hard find in many places, same with tumblr and it was ruined in a similar way.
It's fine, and I completely understand, it's just not what it once was. Many things are not.
