In my environment, I don't really see much people moving as of now. There's a crowd of enthusiasts leaving behind Twitter, Facebook, ... but these mostly are the folks that have been in many places already before, people that aren't hesitant to doing so. Most of especially my Twitter bubble is extremely robust, doesn't care much about Musk and is staying there without any second thought. That's where my motivations to get some of them "over here" just result in a "why", and I don't really have good answers satifying to them, at least in terms of advantages outweighing disadvantages / effort required for that. If "owning your data" just would actually be "owning your data" for everyone without being required to run a server, things would be quite a bit easier to communicate - at the moment, for most of these "owning your data" in practise means "trust some random person to host your data well" (either by running a Mastodon / Fediverse instance for you or by providing infrastructure for you to self-host your Mastodon/Fediverse instance). This really feels flawed in terms of "decentralization".
