The original organizers of a group want to remain in control of the medium, regardless of what the medium is. Which means that even if you built the alternative yourself, they won't bite, because they are no longer in control. You are. And when leaders are comfortable with the levers of control they have over one medium, they typically aren't incentivized to learn how to use alternative mediums either.

Basically, changing the medium of an organizing unit is a guaranteed struggle session. At best, you might be able to set up parallel mediums that some fraction of the org elects to use in addition to the medium under the control of the leadership.
