US alternatives don't feel too good either.
We need a neutral social media society that plays fair. Maybe a company HQed in Switzerland or something offering full privacy and full ad protection seems to be an opportunity.

"Social media should be built on protocols, not platforms."
Or use decentralized ones like Bluesky
There's a reason that it isn't as popular as Twitter
besides the user base difference, any articles explain the reason?
Uh what? Most of the more active Twitter users/power users moved over, at least on one side of the political spectrum.
That and Twitter has been around way longer.
It's not decentralized. Mastodon is.
