The one thing that's been proven time and time again, building a new community from the outcasts of a larger mainstream community does not end with a high quality community.

If you're worried about the power tech companies have gained, and you're using that as the sole reason to build a new community, it's not going to become something better. If you want to compete with Youtube, You have to have something that is fundamentally more appealing on a mainstream level than their product.

I like and use Mastodon, and don't think its "low quality" Twitter.

The largest Mastodon instance is teeming with lolicon. Quality.

That really leaves out that both left and right wing ideologies have found a way to use the technology effectively for their own means. The platform itself isn't some niche platform.
