Yes, social media is the problem. But there are two social media spheres. The one where we are, with Lemmy and Mastodon, is not the problem. The problem is the social media that exists in the capitalist world. What happened with the internet is that we invented a lot of services that should be a human right but they are controlled by corporations. Everyone should have access to a zero knowledge email, everyone should have access to a social media platform that is not controlled by anyone (it's a public space).

Exactly, that video made it all very simple and helped convincing me
Why? I don't know much about these services but I bought a domain on OVH. No issues so far but would like to know if I might get some in the future...
Switched to Tuta and bought a domain. It's been great so far. I can create an email alias with this domain for each service I use. Also have a proton free account but not sure yet what I will use it for (it was for testing before). I also created a disroot account since I really like what they are doing.
I don't disagree with that but what about the people that are not connected to information like we are? What about the average Joe that is asked for an Instagram account so that he can get the contact of a person promising a job? (Just a random example).
