More analysis from @wiredfire:
It’s nothing to do with [difficulties in using multiple platforms]. It’s to do with the massive backlash they got on Fedi for their CEO being all Trumpy and somewhat horrible right wing. So they’ve run away because they were made to feel unwelcome on account of us not letting their BS fly.

I'm not too sure it's as difficult as you are making it out to be. We see something similar with "black wall street" where black communities were committed to keeping their capital within their communities and black owned companies. We can even see this with the Amish and how they have survived as a community. I'm not completely sure if you can keep 100% of the capital within certain communities; but in a similar sense, we can at least attempt to be more meaningful with how and where we spend our money. The tech community chooses which company they support and do "business" with, similarly with fashion and many other things that aren't completely necessary. I feel like that would at least be a start. Rome wasn't built in a day, and neither will correcting the public's spending habits. But it has been done and can be done again. There just needs to be the right incentive; to which, I'm not sure what that would be.
