In some sense, I can also see the outlines of why the IndieWeb in general and idea of building blocks and itches in particular is so useful and powerful. While people saying "just move to platform x" (because it works for them) is lovely from their perspective, it doesn't necessarily satisfy the needs and wants of the person for whom they're giving the advice. While it can be helpful to give them some ideas, they'll need to do their own research and make the space for themselves to figure out what their desires, needs, and the constraints in their life will allow. Being able to put some small and simple pieces together in a way that will work for them is much better than a some monolith that will be much less penetrable.
