Are there any good decentralized message boards? Biggest question seems to be how does the community deal with spam (and spam taking a large amount of space). But other than that I could see a lot of people willing to host nodes for free.
Independent forums might be due for a comeback as well, with modern technological amenities

It turns out that handing the public square to centralized control ends badly. Who knew! You reap what you sow.
You know, you can be against Facebook providing a platform to extremist/neo-nazis groups, and also think Facebook has overall too much power and presence. It's not "you reap what you sow" and you're not handing GP some funny "gotcha". It's just plain obvious decency. Some people don't get that, and then they're surprised that most normal humans think it's suspicious, as if they don't get it on purpose . Then they get…
If a lot of people move to e.g. the fediverse facebook equivalent, that shifts power away from facebook and makes it harder to deplatform people. So your two listed goals are in competition. That's why I'm saying you reap what you sow: you wanted a world where people can be deplatformed, and you got it.

You literally can't because of government regulations, although spinning up your own self-hosted community hasn't been regulated yet and is fairly easy.
Just build your own country on an island to run your stock market.

If you don’t like it, build your own stock market.
That's like say...found your own country no one will try to stop your or won't let you into the UN
E.g. Asgardia can be considered a surprisingly successful proto-nation. AFAIK UN actually contacted them and asked to launch a satellite into space (which they can) but that ended up a diplomatic failure.
> or won't let you into the UN
Getting into the UN hardly really means much. There are many nations in the UN nobody cares about. There also are nations not in the UN yet very relevant (e.g. Taiwan which was among the UN founders).
> The notification, seen by Reuters, said without detail that the group violated policies on “adult sexual exploitation.” That's some bullshit right there. Spin the wheel, come up with a random charge, and ban the entire community with zero recourse and no way to appeal.

Facebook here has the power to regulate their own version(s) of the markets due to personal fear that their stock will be affected by the every man's voice and opinion. They fear being oppressed by the people, so they oppress the people's ability to have any control over them. For a publicly traded company this is insane, and it shows how fake everything really is behind the scenes. Only a few out there are truly allowed to trade on good information and swing markets their way.
Break up big tech.
