I understand the gist of what you’re saying. There have been a lot of failed social media startups that claim to be censorship resistant. They also tend to have some vague scheme to pay people for the content they post. But there’s plenty of censorship resistant software written and maintained by non-fascists. Federation is a form of censorship resistance and Lemmy is maintained by communists. And Matrix/Element is maintained by people who are at the very least intending it to be used by activists and political dissidents beyond just fascist cells. I know KF had a matrix instance, but so do we and so does lemmygrad. It’s just good software.
The main difference is that right-wing libertarians perceive censorship as a technological problem while leftists understand it as a social problem. Fediverse software is generally agnostic about censorship. It is a matter of policy left to instance operators. Right-wing libertarians on the other hand will produce the same corporate social structures over and over again and think an algorithm will fix the problem.
