I think it would be better to think of it like a cigarette patch
The goal is to lower your activity to your assumed essentials, and eventually stop entirely when you start replacing it in your daily activities.
It makes it easier for people either on the fence or just not entirely comfortable with trying something new.
That’s a good analogy, it’s also way easier to describe this than fully explain Mastodon and the fediverse. If somebody’s looking to quit Twitter but they’re on the fence because they’re like “but I still need the info even if I don’t actively participate” you can just say “hey here’s an alternative until all that info can move, at least you won’t be directly supporting them and won’t be further contributing value by being tempted to participate” rather than “well all that stuff will move eventually”
