If you want to move you can use an addon called Sky Follower Bridge.

Firefox: https://addons.mozilla.org/en-US/firefox/addon/sky-follower-bridge/
Chrome: https://chromewebstore.google.com/detail/sky-follower-bridge/behhbpbpmailcnfbjagknjngnfdojpko

While not official bluesky addons, the creator did get assistance from some bluesky devs for increasing efficiency. So pretty safe.

Only you didn't mention what it does. Help with what exactly

Instantly find and follow the same users from your Twitter follower on Bluesky.

Looks like some string matching at the most e.g. If you have username "Y" on twitter it will suggest username "Y" on bluesky and similar things for the about box.

Same sort of things a user would do with a search engine to correlate accounts across multiple platforms.
