It sounds like a dumb kind of centralization; yes, you can download all your old stuff, in the hopes that someone else will host it for you eventually.
The smarter thing is the thing we already have with email (and that Mastodon can do) -- you have to place trust somewhere, so do it with whatever decentralized server you choose. I get that it's not robust -- or more specifically you DO have to trust whoever's running the server -- but that's better that the now obvious goofy centralization that Bluesky is now subject to.
