Unpopular take: large platforms can do anything, any kind of evil moves towards their users and still mostly get away with it. We can see that it generally works with Twitter, Reddit, YouTube and lots of others.
I don't know for sure if it is possible to fight it. Centralized platforms will always win because they are very convenient and UX is very smooth while user plays ball by platform's rules. Migrating to decentralized is mostly for geeks.
I am geek myself, but I still can't find energy to migrate at leas email to my own domain. Instead I keep using GMail, despite all the risks (I am citizen of Russia, so in my case risk of deplatforming from Google is even higher).
