Fair, but alot of people are going to wind up on a corporate social media anyways, and if they aren't willing to jump over to more private options this is a mitigation of the damage and simultaneously is an act of defiance, so while not the best choice, I still regard it as better than, say, anything Meta owns. So I feel this shouldnt be beaten down on so hard, but rather used as a chance to say "Yeah, that is a step, but here are some better options". Talking down about their choice on a platform they already aren't on as if it is somehow worse than what is being pushed on them is just screaming into the void.
