@darius surveillance capitalism is fairly specific form of commercialism. The question is whether the fediverse can be free of commercial motive of any kind. I believe the answer depends on scale. As a niche project between tech savvy individuals spending hobby time it could be a profit-motive free zone. But as a replacement for mass social I struggle to see how that could be. Even if entirely funded as public good there will be friction around procurements. Life is not simple.
