With the corollary that *any* vendor motivated to do so can serve the
same function. Meaning the options aren't just “use this vendor or get
nothing”, as they are with a centralised service.

With a federated service, anyone *can* run their own instance, which
means that few people have to: vendors can pop up and compete with one
another, participants have the option of moving to a different vendor
taking their data and functionality and established relationships and
discussions and identity where they choose.
