There are no such services. Everything that gets popular goes for abuse and lock-in and often they only start with that after they already have become wildly popular. There is nothing you can do against it.

I think OP is referring to Federated social networks like Mastodon and others.

The problem with Federation is that it can be switched off at any time. If you are on a federated server you are just as depend on them as you are on Facebook. It doesn't fundamentally solve the problem, at best it just delays it a little bit.
