I think privacy and social media are inherently at odds. Social media is built around the concept of sharing personal metadata through memes, opinions and is generally the point of socializing. Your personal data is the currency of social media.
Diaspora has private groups. But many downsides.
For example… discovering people, first involves sharing with them.
You could argue that content (as opposed to person) focused forums or message boards that allow anonymous posts are probably the closest to private social media.
I think that’s why most of us are here on Lemmy. However I don’t want to assume the motives of others.
Well, I was thinking more of the kind of anonymous comments you get on message boards like some of the *chan ones.
