@mpesce The question is: can we create an alternate web, one NOT based on surveillance capitalism? Is the #fediverse the beginnings of this?
Can we re-take control of our digital futures?

Careful. The backend of fediverse is designed in a way that makes it pretty much perfect for surveillance capitalism.
It has public broadcast of so much information to receivers that you don't even have to actively reach out to, even unknowingly.
Your web browser might be making a request from one site to an ad provider site once you access the first page, but fediverse doesn't even require you to access the first page.
There are ways to empower users, giving them more control, but fediverse was designed to give instances control, not users.
