I suspect that desire for decentralization is motivated by wanting Facebook without Facebook. I've never have an account, I don't tweet, I don't care about centralization. So I guess there could be a connection. About propaganda, there are some kinds of person that never miss the opportunity to tell you what they think about their pet topic. Any community that doesn't allow to ignore them is bad for mental health. It used to work for thematic forums, with rules about off-topic. If the topic is more open, politics creep in.

In a way, yes. I dropped my Facebook account, only interact with Twitter and mastodon from time to time and can see your point. But the thing is, once you are in Facebook you get to see that most of the world propaganda is there and the whole platform is conditioned (and monetized, but not on your interest). So you get to see the benefits of a platform like Facebook and the evil of facebook (the platform) being Facebook (the company).
