This is why I’m slowly migrating to the Fediverse.

Fuck social media companies.

Well, the Fediverse isn't any more private, but at least it doesn't care much about your data. That said, any company could come and harvest all of that data if it wanted since it's open.

The Fediverse isn't the final step here.
