I know they exists, but never got to the usability point we need.m, or even if it did it was too late.

If a sizable chunk of the Reddit community can move to an alpha/beta grade link aggregator platform that can’t handle the load because we believe in the decentralization or the instance’s mission or the overall concept of federation, why is it too late for the community to re-adopt a mature messaging platform that mirrors those ambitions?

Because messaging of that sort needs contacts and Redditors (including me tbf) don’t have friends.
