I choose it, but you didn't, and if I migrate private messages exchanged between us, that would affect your personal information.
Just migrating my public posts will not be an issue. I don't know if private messages would be. §20 states in 4 "The right referred to in paragraph 1 shall not adversely affect the rights and freedoms of others."

Well, to be clear, whenever you send or receive a DM, the admins of both instances can read them. Do people who send DMs even pay attention to who is the admin of the receiver's instance? Probably not.
Anyway, the ability to import public posts would be a big improvement.

Why do you think there's consent in the first case but not the second case? You voluntarily choose your new instance just as much as you did your old instance.
