It isn’t really opposing the network effect, because you enable who is on the platform you want to avoid to keep using it and staying in touch with you, so they have no incentive to try your platform, if most of their contacts remain on theirs.
As you said, an automatic response is a thing that would make a difference, there is something at stake and the contact either tries your proposed platform or sees you as too extreme and drops the conversation altogether
You’ve already left. You don’t need a bridge.
It’s for them, not you.
It lets them switch gradually and delete the bridge later.
I’m not sure I follow, with “them” who are you referring to?
