That’s a good analogy, it’s also way easier to describe this than fully explain Mastodon and the fediverse. If somebody’s looking to quit Twitter but they’re on the fence because they’re like “but I still need the info even if I don’t actively participate” you can just say “hey here’s an alternative until all that info can move, at least you won’t be directly supporting them and won’t be further contributing value by being tempted to participate” rather than “well all that stuff will move eventually”
