I've been using Signal stories and telling people to follow me there. I know it gets lots of hate but honestly it's the only form of private social media. It has no ads or bots. My "posts" get sent to exactly who I want them to and no one else. Then truly disappear from existence.

There is another similar project called Circles from FUTO that uses Matrix but it's very Alpha right now.
