I get the emotional angle, but it's hard to disentangle the message from the underlying risk of getting attached to any kind of business; it will never love you

I get the emotional angle, but it's hard to disentangle the message from the underlying risk of getting attached to any kind of business; it will never love you back, and your community may as well be an accident. Non or less commercial versions - diaryland, mastodon - will live on in relative obscurity since they prioritize users over growth, but maybe it's harder to find customers or patrons on those platforms.
