    I’ve been using Signal stories and telling people to follow me there. I know it gets lots of hate but honestly it’s the only form of private social media. It has no ads or bots. My “posts” get sent to exactly who I want them to and no one else. Then truly disappear from existence.

    There is another similar project called Circles from FUTO that uses Matrix but it’s very Alpha right now.

          You mean “FOSS” that specifically prohibits you from having most of the freedoms that define FOSS?

          Read the FUTO license. It’s a mess.
