Ask HN: Who is working on fully decentralized social networking?

I imagine that the news about Parler having its plugs pulled both from app stores and AWS hosting has many of us thinking: what will it take to build a solution where that's simply not possible? I know of Matrix, Mastodon, and PixelFed (and use the first two), but is there a 'facebook killer' in development right now? My concern is that, while seizing control of social networking from big corporations is surely a great idea, it may be initially inundated (and thus, socially formulated) by the same whackjob culture that flocked to Parler from Twitter. How can we ensure that balanced and healthy communities form on the decentralized web?
