Out of curiosity I tried it for a few minutes yesterday. All I saw was a bunch of influencers and low level memes. I had duck duck go tracker blocker on just to see how bad they are and it's worse than I could ever imagine. It showed 686 tracker attempts from 35 different companies and I was only on for about 10 minutes.

And that's another issue - if we federate, you won't even be able to block those trackers, because the Meta instance will just be able to ask the server for those data, if I understood it correctly.
