>we now recommend social networks with our first recommendation being Mastodon !

Mastodon is one of the worst possible options from the privacy perspective.

Mastodon doesn't support E2EE, so server admins can read everything you write, including direct messages. The only way to use it privately is to self-host, but Mastodon is very complicated and expensive. There are other Fediverse servers that are much cheaper and easier to install/maintain.

The only real privacy feature in Mastodon is followers-only posts, and even that is not implemented properly. No private channels, no reply controls. Again, some Fediverse platforms have more privacy options, or at least have sensible defaults (e.g. not exposing social graph).
