Ask HN: What are some promising “healthy social media” projects?

I recently quit Instagram and Facebook but I do feel that I'm missing out on what's happening with my friends. I'd like to follow and potentially use some new (maybe dweb) alternatives.

I know Mastodon, Diaspora...

In my view a healthy social media alternative doesn't need to be distributed but it need to:

- limit the reach of posts, keeping the communication in your social circles and not trying to be a media company at the same time with millions of followers on some accounts

- have to algorithmic feed - chronological is just fine, thank you

- no ads if possible, or no micro-targeted ads.

Do you know any project like that?
