That’s not what the person you’re replying to said
Yeah, and their response is also not related to the topic at hand. We are not arguing about moving away from US-controlled platforms because we are measuring what is "better". We are talking about leaving US-owned platforms in order to have a sovereign alternative.
Speaking as someone from Europe i remember the time we switched from a local social media site to Facebook on mass because Facebook was a better experience.
So a better platform is a must have if the EU wants the digital sovereign social media to have any traction. Most people just don't care enough about abstract concepts like digital sovereignty to move to a worse platform.

Companies care about it, which by extension should make some of their employees care as well.
(Saying this "out loud" made be realize one thing: maybe I should stop trying to make "get out of Twitter and come to Mastodon" happen, and get Communick to focus on companies and recruiters that want an alternative to LinkedIn?)
