I agree 100%. There needs to be some kind of publicly funded platform (fuck off libertarians), otherwise things would just move to another huge company.

Either way, it would (will?) be a major undertaking to extricate everything from Musk's madhouse.

Maybe I'm showing my age here but I would argue there really doesn't need to be this type of platform at all. It wasn't that long ago that society functioned just fine (I would argue in some ways better) without it.

That's a fair point. I'm also not young, so I get where you're coming from. But alas, we live in a social media world now, and we can't put the toothpaste back in the tube.
