Conclusion

Most popular networks are not to be trusted at this point due to censorship, moderation, security, privacy, or government influences
Federated, encrypted networks, and open source networks tend to be much better
Political ties, policy changes, and algorithm changes are still evolving
Users may migrate between networks depending on policies and popularity

Caveats

This is my informed opinion but I’m open to feedback
US based, though foreign networks are allowed if popular in the US
Things may change rapidly but not all sources may be trustworthy
The boundaries between moderation, censorship, and algorithms can be blurry
It can’t always be assumed if a change is made for political or business reasons
