I don't really care whether it's got a ton of people though. I do care if it's truly free and federated.

It's for the same reason I don't recommend Signal to anyone in my circle. I don't want to trade one walled garden for another (Signal still refuses third-party clients for example). I use Matrix which is truly open.

Wasn't the encryption on Matrix cracked and a bunch of criminals were caught?
