Where are we headed? What app should we use to share/communicate with others in a group setting without ads or having an option to have our data not to be mined or sold?

Is there a HN poll of a range of apps and how many is using each (and maybe a daily/weekly time usage of each)?

Some data to review below (*may be biased):

Facebook 449

WhatsApp 424

CapCut 357

Snapchat 330

Telegram 310
