It also sounds difficult to curate (just another kind of moderation), and much of the success of the current social media heavyweights is due to their curation.

It's a fallacy. Good social media platform doesn't need curation. It doesn't need any recommendation system whatsoever. Every single thing you see in your feed is the result of your conscious decision to follow someone. It's just you and your friends. And exactly zero content from people you don't know.

Current social media doesn't respect you because being respectful doesn't drive metrics.
