Anyone can set up their own server, it starts from about 10$ a month including a managed host that does all the technical stuff.
I have a website telling people how to do it at https://growyourown.services
If people are unhappy with how a server is run, they can start their own.
It doesn't get more open than that, and it's something that is impossible on centralised networks like Twitter, Facecbook etc.
