"Anymore"
As if it hasn't always been a dumpster fire.
For a long time Twitter and Facebook were what you made them. When it was mostly personal acquaintances, and later tight communities, you had pretty good control over your experience. That was a long time ago at this point, but I wouldn't say it was always a dumpster fire.
Facebook way back in the day was the shit. Everything was super private outside of groups which served as the public square. I haven't found any federated platforms that come close. It might be seven or eight years now since I logged in.
Isn't diaspora like that? They have a somewhat facebook-like interface and rely on 'aspects' to define how public or private something is. It is listed on the fediverse map, though it doesn't use activitypub but a different protocol.
You can manually set things to be private, but I don't know if there's any way to set everything as private by default.
It has the problem with all Facebook alternatives where they feel like Twitter without post limits.
