why don't you try, say mastodon, just for fun. its perfectly usable even though it has been built using many orders of magnitude less resources than these walled gardens
I don't see why I should try mastodon when twitter has way more users and the same moderation policies.
each mastodon instance has different moderation policies. you can setup you own instance and experiment.
you are free not change your mind about social media but please stop throwing around inaccuracies
