My social media usage is something like this.
– Follow people wherever they are (including the big silos).
– Write locally, in my ‘digital garden’, first.
– Publish on my own site. I for sure own the data this way.
– Syndicate things elsewhere, wherever the community best fits for my post. But don’t feed the big tech beasts.
– Interact with people wherever they are.
At present, a combo of org-mode, IndieWeb, Fediverse, Agora make this possible for me.

@neil That sounds like a solid plan for how best to use platforms and interactions …
@neil The privacy of writing in your own walled digital garden before publishing things to the world gives you the feeling that you’ve got things the way you want them to be within your own personal realm of safety. Very understandable.
