You're asking them to set up and maintain another platform for you to ... Checks notes... use their FOSS project? Not contribute to development, just...use? That does not seem worth their time. Certainly sounds demanding to step into a project and tell them to do things differently otherwise you won't honour them with your presence

I think it's safe to assume they created a FOSS project, as well as all of the associated social platforms, for people to use. I don't think it's unrealistic to request that they make a single platform available that doesn't exploit their users for profit.

Certainly sounds demanding

That's because you have a fundamental misconception regarding the difference between asking a question and making a demand. Here's a hint: one has a "question mark".
