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.

    CEO came out in support of Trump and criticized Democrats.

    If a business chooses to take a political position that isn’t strictly policy related they should expect blowback.

      Honestly that’s just silly. Some random CEO enforcing Trump shouldn’t be the thing to break the camels back.

        How is the CEO of the business that makes the product in question “random”? Regardless, supporting Trump in this day and age is support for all the very worst things. You’re way off base thinking it shouldn’t be influential, few things mean more these days.

          I care about the product feature set and price. Other considerations include environmental and societal impact as well as company billing reputation.

          We should stop treating CEOs like celebrities
