Meshtastic, which is basically a decentralized internet, does not solve the issue of big tech scraping our data and using it for AI training. Lemmy is a good example - it’s decentralized nature makes it a great source for data harvesting for AI models training with easy access while Reddit does try to limit the scraping possibilities (although obviously the motivation is not them saving the world but them trying to profit)
I’m more thinking about censorship, closing down of platforms entirely, maintaining the ability to get information at all. Which Meshtastic is uniquely poorly suited for, it’s barely a chat room. But, it’s a start.
