I recently came across three separate platforms:
Qortal: https://qortal.org/
ZeroNet: https://zeronet.io/
and
Plebbit: https://plebbit.com/
That all claim to be completely decentralized.
There’s even talk about how Plebbit is more decentralized than the Fediverse, because the Fediverse is based off of instances.

And I was curious, would such a setup work better for the Fediverse, or is it basically just a huge scam/waste of time and money?
Blockchains are not decentralized, they are centralizing power in the hands of the people who develop the software for the networks. You can’t change code on your side, otherwise it means being incompatible with the network.
Blockchains are also a tool for building capital, which is an instrument of domination.
In short: blockchains are once again not a solution
