Whoever can solve discoverability of those indie sites will do very well. I parallel it to the “eat local” movement, where folks really go out of their way to find healthy food locally even when it costs more.

It shouldn’t take me crawling through the mud of social media to find them.

The fediverse is a large and diverse enough social media that you will not be able to traverse in your own lifetime. Follow the links to the artistic, human-made, not-for-profit, "authentic" content. There's more than enough to fulfil your needs.

As a heuristic, if it was made for earning money, it's probably safe to close the tab.

Just as we have the dark web for a certain class of subjects, I wish we had a "light web" to balance it

Perhaps a community index curated to contain only non commercial websites with no ads or trackers?
