Friendica – A Decentralized Social Network
Decentralization
Decentralized architecture with no central authority or ownership.
Relationships can be made across any compatible system, creating a network of Internet scale made up of smaller sites.
Seamless wall-to-wall posts and remote comments, even across different network nodes.
Privacy
Access lists for every item.
Private conversation groups — on these pages all communications are restricted to group members.
One-to-one private messaging on supported protocols.
Optionally “expire” old content after a certain period of time.
Download your personal data. It all belongs to you.
Interoperability
Built-in support for ActivityPub (e.g. Funkwhale, Hubzilla, Mastodon, Pleroma, Pixelfed), OStatus (e.g. StatusNet, GNU social, Quitter) and diaspora* protocols.
Support for email contacts and communications (two-way) via IMAP4rev1/ESMTP.
Import arbitrary websites and blogs into your social stream via RSS/Atom feeds.
Support for other services via plugins.

I think this whole idea of decentralization as the answer to big tech has run its course. The age of social networks was the late 2000s and early 2010s. A new social network, when most people are tired of phones and are detoxing, is just another step backward.
Social networks, especially generic ones, are like dating apps; they abound galore. Unless it’s serving a specific niche, I don’t see this one going anywhere.
