All decent people should get off X and let it continue to fester. The people who continue to use it despite claiming to be against everything it and Musk stand for are a part of the problem.
The problem is, it'll take forever to die. Just like Facebook. Most of the people who are aware, or even care about these kinds of problems are a small slice of the user base. Most will never hear about it because they don't give a shit
Getting normies onto federated platforms is going to be a real problem. With centralized services, all people need to know is they type in the name "Twitter" or "Reddit" to Google and click the first link. They've probably seen the site and browsed it already. What federated platforms need is a flagship instance that people can easily find. In order to be a real competitor, that instance needs to be able to handle millions of active users.
