Mastodon seem’s like a trade-free social network. Unlike Facebook, there are no ads and no data collection. The guy who’s developing it relies on donations and the fact that it’s decentralized with you being able to even run your own served node of mastodon makes it very trade-free. And in the settings you have the control to choose who can see your posts. Of course you need to create an account for Mastodon with your email address and any name, but I won’t consider that as a trade, since that’s the whole point of a social network – to keep in touch with your friends and socialize with other people – and you need an account for that, right?
