I do have to disagree with this post, I think it’s you who need more research if you really think that kickstarter suggests they haven’t heard of the fediverse.
Haven: Better Instagram & YouTube, to Stop AI & Surveillance
Social media that prevents Big Tech & AI from stealing your art, your biometrics, and your privacy. We’re replacing Insta and YouTube.
The fediverse does NOT prevent big tech and ai from stealing your stuff. it actually makes it easier. They just need a shell instance to subscribe to stuff and the fediverse hands everything to them for free, including your votes.
I’m all for the fediverse myself, but that’s because I don’t personally care about this that much. If I did, I wouldn’t want to be here where we’re the most vulnerable out of anywhere.
Yes, there’s some contradiction built in. The more freedom we give to users, the more that freedom can be abused by nefarious people. I don’t think there’s a good technical solution to this. At least not if we want it to be a public space.

Freedom is free
That means you will be abused. But your free while being abused.
There is no solution that doesn’t reduce the freedom.
That’s the problem with freedom, it’s free.
