"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.
