Jordan Peterson is not enough to be the deciding factor in the winner. He can’t onboard millions of people. It’s a lot of noise about not that much. He represents a niche market. The winner will be decided the old fashioned way — years of astute coding and marketing.
Note I tweeted some replies to those links you provided.

Interesting to see where Jordan Peterson et al will settle with. They must be trying a few platforms out - I got an email from libry.io saying he was there
Most people do not understand economies-of-scale. They do not even realize how large the surface of this planet it. Jordan Peterson is a small fish in a huge ocean. He will not be the deciding factor on which decentralized platform grows to the necessary economies-of-scale.
He is just now starting to think about decentralized business models and things I have been thinking about for years. He is not a software developer. He will end up choosing the best platform with the most economies-of-scale. So it is we the developers and marketers who will decide where Jordan ends up. The ball is in our court.
