It’s pretty private but when I uninstalled the community was getting sparse and notifications were slow. Might be better or worse these days.
Notepad
Funny. But, as it runs on Windows, it’s definitely not the most private.
I suggest Emacs or vi running in a Qube.
Real world paper notepad!
Ah. I forget that real world paper exists, my ADHD brain can’t make functional use of it.
Private discord groups or anonymous message boards where you don’t create an account to make a post or those dark web places where you can buy the illegal drugs and stuff.
Nostr you only need to create a public and private key to have an account and use TOR with specific relays. It is also one of the social media Edward Snowden use.
The most private in your home with your friends and some beer.
Most message board have no post history or account
besides p2p/onion type stuff hiding your IP on top of whatever you use, I think imageboards are the most private/anonymous.
here’s a list: https://chan.city/
Goto social ?

do some research
Social media is not private. Never will be
thats not entirely true.
You’re right, it isn’t entirely true. A perfectly private social media service could be constructed but it likely won’t because there is no profit motive. Even if it were, how many people would truly use it.
We had things like this in the beginning of the internet. Anonymous chat rooms and message boards were incredibly popular but I doubt they will ever reach that level of popularity again.
And here it is, that thing you said most likely won’t be…

To be social, 3 people, maybe 5 is all you’d need.
As to proft motive, maybe you’re not aware of FOSS?
That’s called a group chat
The most private platform:

Is the ones you don’t use
The thing is whoever you pick you are trusting someone else to host your data pictures whatever

Your own website hosted on Tor/I2P, I think.
