I'm sure there are people on the fediverse for whom that use-case is a good fit. They put a premium on account portability, can shoulder the technical burden, aren't concerned about the privacy implications, and aren't particularly invested in the more thorough-going decentralization. To them I say, good luck and God speed.
I just don't want anyone making that jump without recognizing that one choice they're being asked to make is between account portability and genuine decentralization.
