Because I run a blog (WriteFreely), a small community Mastodon server, and an even small personal server for a specific audience (GTS).

But that was more an indication that I'm familiar with the issue I'm detailing (the lack of data ownership and portability).

While I wouldn't necessarily personally want to cross the streams in terms of having a data store for, say, my porn server being the same as the one for my vanilla social networking, blog and mainstream professional life, the notion of single user controlled data stores that are platform agnostic is one I'd like to see as a key part of the discussion when we speak about the future of decentralised social media (and other!) protocols.
