Big techs' have forgotten that social media is for people to interact and connect.

Our data belongs to us, and no one has the right to use it without permission.

"Just public data, not DMs or anything private," huh?

Obviously Elon Musk considers everything we post on Twitter as his personal wealth... It's true though, since all our personal data is stored on his servers, and he can scrape whatever he wants.

It's time to step into a decentralized peer-to-peer social media where we will no longer be exploited by Twitter, Facebook, or whatever platform, and there are no more central servers to gather your data without consent.

True, and Anonymity is important as well, I am suppose to recommend Mastodon, etc. But they do require Email address as an identity verification.

Nostr https://www.nostrapps.com/ or WireMin http://wiremin.org/

Both of them are decentralized social media, and does not require personal info to register.

Well not really. You are very welcome to set up your own instance and own your data.

Some measure of accountability for getting an account needs to be kept in my opinion. Pure anonymity lends itself to things like 4Chan emerging, which is an intersting place to be sure but not exactly conducive to a reasoned discussion. Pretty hard to send some pictures to aunt judy if everyone is just anon.
