I hear your argument. No VC-funded start-up is likely to make moves in this space. But your question ignores a whole sector of the economy: non-profits. I believe there even have been some non-profit social network attempts (perhaps even still active), though I can't recall their names.
- iib 6y agoI think this attempt by Wikipedia founder Jimmy Wales (but unrelated to Wikipedia itself) comes close [1]. Honestly, if it manages to approximately implement the community approach that works under Wikimedia itself, it may well become the most non-toxic social network, as they self-advertise it. https://wt.social/ https://wt.social/ [1]
