There's no technical reason that one couldn't move from platform to platform and link identities - the restrictions around IP and platform lock-in only benefit the platform owner, ensuring that competition will be stifled rather than the platform made useful for its users.

The sad part is that ad networks know more about our connections across platforms than we're allowed to.

There is also no technical reason people have to stay, because tech isn't the problem here. The value in these platforms aren't in the range of features they provide, but the engagement between individuals and the community and the value of the information it generates.

If you can be found on any other platform, your followers will be able to follow to those. There’s no benefit to being on one platform.
