Announcing your departure without burning bridges with the platform
Many terms of service forbid redirecting users toward a competitor. Here is what remains possible.
Most platforms forbid, in their terms, soliciting their users on behalf of a competing service. The rule is real, but its scope is narrower than most people think.
What remains possible
- Writing to your own email list — it belongs to you.
- Announcing it on your personal social media accounts.
- Publishing your own domain name, which already existed beforehand.
What exposes you
A mass message sent through the platform's internal messaging system, a direct link inside a post, turning your home page into an exit banner.
