Eg, GitHub and Discord are widely considered the best options in their field.

Librewolf moved to Codeberg a few weeks ago, so I guess there are still alternatives.

As said elsewhere, Mozilla uses Matrix.

Following that logic, why do we bother using Lemmy in the first place? We could just go back to Reddit, using revanced apps with personal API keys, and call it a day.

Also, at least before Twitter became such a shitty alt-right shit hole, many FOSS products did have twitter accounts!

They did, but then Twitter went to shit. Reddit was fine, until it went to shit. If the Piped project were to use a subreddit instead of !piped@feddit.rocks , wouldn’t that be a missed opportunity too? FOSS project should support each other, otherwise it questions their existence in the first place. Why would other organisations and companies bother with the FOSS alternatives if FOSS projects themselves don’t?
