It's FOSS

Fed up with the “my way or the highway” attitude of mainstream social media?

You can go for one of these decentralized alternatives instead:

To be fair, there is an option to host your own Signal server, making it at least semi-decentralized, as well as groups are possible, which may, or may not fall in everyone's definition of "social media".

@Fenrir @itsfoss in that case, yeah it is semi-decentralised, but group support doesn't mean it's social media(technically you can have groups in sms)

@itsfoss Signal is definitely not considered social media according to Wikipedia. Instead, "Signal is an encrypted messaging service for instant messaging, voice, and video calls."
