My problem with decentralised social Media currently is that it’s entirely unencrypted and publically viewable.
I don’t mind so much on services like Lemmy where it’s a bit of fun to make comments and post random things without it being directly linked to your identity (though I am aware the content is still likely being scraped by someone somewhere).
I’d really love a Facebook/Instagram replacement, but end-to-end encrypted where only the people you’ve given permission to can view your content.
No idea how this would be achieved, but PixelFed is pretty useless unless you’re posting publically.
That’s what the FUTO Circles project was supposed to be about, but sadly the project got ditched by the original devs for it only a year after it started. Info on that here - https://youtu.be/OKTOhxeKrK0?si=NKvI6Esp3c33DG96
Remember, there is no algorithm pushing people towards you, look around, follow people, and see who they follow.

I think that’s closer to what Diaspora hoped to achieve, but maybe I’m misremembering some details.
Close, but it appears admins of instances have access to your info, sadly :/
