Why are FOSS platforms like Matrix having such a hard time getting users to migrate from Discord? Because of PluralKit.

Stuff gets deleted from the Internet all the time... other stuff goes viral and lasts for decades. YMMV

It seems to me like your threat model is different from OP's, though. Worrying about ad blockers not being enough, is not the same as fearing for your life because someone might decide to track down where you are IRL.
