We do. It's called Romeo. No nonsense. No AI. Just people. They listen to their users.

Support your local European companies.

If it ain't open-source and federated, it's only a matter of time until it enshittifies too.

Even federation isn't a permanent solution. Mark my words, users will eventually act like changing instances is a high cost.

I'd argue that that's probably already the case. Sunk cost fallacy at play. Your posts, comments, blocks and stuff don't follow you from one account to another.

Maybe. Though I haven't seen anything of that sort over the years. They've been around quite a while and long ago they removed all ads from their platform.
