The fediverse promises social media without Big Tech – if it can avoid familiar pitfalls.
The fediverse promises an egalitarian, noncommercial alternative to Big Tech for social media, but there’s a lot of work needed to make it work.

Good article, does bring up concerns. But I don't like this argument.
Though this content could flourish in pockets of the fediverse, the scary scenario of prevalent child sexual abuse material is not the case.
It assumes that non-fediverse sites don't have this problem. But the few articles I read about this news, Facebook is usually the way they share this disgusting content. So while yes we need to do something to stop it, it is not like traditional social media has solved it either.
It didn’t solve it and it profited the shit out of it. At least criminal activity in the Fediverse doesn’t bring profit to the Fediverse.
