> Someone who uses the platform for anything other than political speech has little reason to jump platforms to something that has significantly fewer people and an underdeveloped interface. In addition to qualms about the idea that there is a significant amount of speech that is truly "other than political speech", I think you're missing a huge (in fact, the biggest) reason for flight from social networks: the mass-scale gaslighting that happens when closed-source algorithms decide to depict the lives of your friends in a way that's designed to produce consumer behavior rather than to give you insight over your community. To me, the reason to herald the rise of more decentralized social networking is to separate the profit motive from the feed.
