We support those mediums to reach out to audience that is not familiar
with free software alternatives to proprietary social networks or even not
ready yet to make the jump. I am not asking we leave twitter, facebook or
Google+, its good to have our presence there but its equally good to
support another FOSS community and thus extend our own :)

Given the use of mobile devices, more and more people are aware of instant
messaging, social networks. Even in GNOME desktop, we support this with
gnome-online-accounts. Using a diaspora like alternative for a layman and
learning that its a free alternative to facebook, could be their first step
in choosing freedom :)
