Big techs’ have forgotten that social media is for people to interact and connect.

Our data belongs to us, and no one has the right to use it without permission.

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.

Some measure of accountability for getting an account needs to be kept in my opinion. Pure anonymity lends itself to things like 4Chan emerging, which is an intersting place to be sure but not exactly conducive to a reasoned discussion. Pretty hard to send some pictures to aunt judy if everyone is just anon.
