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.

Besides slow responses to support request and handing over info on that ~~Swiss~~ French activist, is there anything else they've done wrong? And I understand that they had no choice in the Swiss case - they had to abide by the law there.

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.

He didn’t even endorse Trump, he agreed with one statement. (And doubled down on that and is really an idiot)
