I'm not really much of a social media guy, I get most of my social interaction from p-f online, and keeping up with my family in real life/meat space. I've not been active on Facebook for a couple years, just keep an account for those things that benefit me, such as trainers I follow and courses I'm signed up for. I don't do Twitter, but I do use it read-only without an account to keep up with what's going on for certain hashtags. I've been disappointed however with their stance on censoring public discourse, and either tagging or editing surrounding content of more conservative voices.
I saw online a post about a new social media site, called Parler. I was curious about it enough to sign up. They didn't need anything other than an email and phone number. The email made sense, and I was a little iffy about the phone number, but I was gratified that it was used for two-factor authentication. They didn't ask for any other demographic information, nor if I liked cat pictures, or where I went to High School, or what I had for Lunch yesterday.

So far, I've just signed up for a few folks I follow on the national media, but it looks interesting so far. What I like about it is that they promise free speech and don't appear to be inclined to steer conversations or content one way or the other.
