A noble goal, don’t give up your dreams. You will however have to account for the following:

- You don’t have the public reputation to convince people to trust you over others.

- It’s unlikely you’d be able to host a fediverse instance able to handle that many users.

- You can’t export their whole social network, it’s nothing unless everyone in their network migrates and is properly linked on the other side.

- Your ads will be denied as is their right to do so.

- Free speech gets real ugly, real fast, without moderation and the tools to moderate at scale. The people who stick around unmoderated spaces will actively push out others.

I'm a geek, not a social media influencer. True technological meritocracy over image. Good ideas speak for themselves. Maybe even the people we don't know/like/trust can teach us something, if we're willing to separate the idea from the person.

Here's one related idea: https://blog.ownlifeful.com/2021/12/direct-democracy-re-imag...

- It’s unlikely you’d be able to host a fediverse instance able to handle that many users.

Maybe the ad on FaceBook will have an onboarding quiz to ask the user about their interests, and hook them up with the right Fediverse instance.

- You can’t export their whole social network, it’s nothing unless everyone in their network migrates and is properly linked on the other side.

Maybe there will be a registry ( I haven't thought about implementation details. centralized/decentralized. how is the authorization handled? ) that lets people seamlessly connect with their former facebook contacts. Like going to heaven to unite with your loved ones. ;-)

- Your ads will be denied as is their right to do so.

Is that right? This looks like a job for me. So everybody, just follow me.

Again, I really appreciate your constructive criticism. Please ask me more questions.

That is not how the world works.

Each one of your responses indicates that you don't understand the dynamics of social networks. I suggest you read more into them before trying to make your own to compete with Facebook.
