   The fediverse is a diverse range of projects in different stages of maturity.

   Mastodon has been going several years and has relatively good amounts of resources, so it has newbie-friendly things like joinmastodon.org

   A long-established instance on Mastodon is a good starting point.

   Pixelfed is much newer, and not finished yet.

   (As for data accountability, there is zero of that on Facebook etc. They collect whatever they want and do whatever they want.)

     To put this in non-technical words, I think you could compare social media to restaurants:

     If you want a cast iron guarantee of a certain kind of food, go to McDonalds.

     If you want much better, tastier, fresher and healthier food, go to a well-run independent restaurant that has good reviews.

     If you just pick an indie restaurant totally at random, it may be awful with terrible food.
