Social networks need to be owned by the communities that use them. If social networks are owned by ad-supported corporations, they end up manipulating and exploiting users in unethical ways.

As far as I know the Fediverse is the only social network allowing communities to actually own their own servers?

BlueSky is backed by VC money and structured so its "servers" depend on expensive-to-run corporate-owned content feeds. Its long-term plan is that these corporate BlueSky feeds would carry advertising. In the long term, when BS's VC backers demand returns on their investment, it will mean enshittification.
