Also with Facebook and XMPP, we saw a more problematic thing that applies to networks: when Facebook cut XMPP connections, the reaction was not "oh well, Facebook is wrong here" the reaction was "get off your tiny service nobody ever heard of and just join Facebook where everyone else is".

Especially Google and Facebook have a bad track record that should be taken into account. I'm much less worried about Automattic (WordPress) for example, because their history is much more aligned with a distributed, decentralised, self-hosted, self-managed web.
