I think this is what tech people don't get about non-techies using technology. Tech people talk about edge cases, about past stories where Facebook shut down a group or posts, theoretical guarantees about "real" privacy, and decentralized control being more idealistic.
Real people don't need stuff to work perfectly, because they'll come up with a workaround by moving platforms or changing how they do things. Nothing works perfectly for them anyways. The platforms they use just need to work 95% of the time, and be good enough. Real people are aware that what they write can be read by others, and don't care about the difference between whether it's encrypted in transit, or on the server, or to their recipient.
For real use, it's all about the content, not the platform.
