Privacy focused non-profit (open source?) social media platform that is easy to join, maybe there is a tool that scrapes your facebook profile and imports it automatically.

Can anyone help me brainstorm what features would be compelling for a privacy focused social media/event planning/group discussion platform?

To dance that dance, one should first be aware of https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Facebook,_Inc._v._Power_Ventur.... .

Facebook's network graph is its single most-valuable asset. Responsibly placing it back into the hands of its users will require some subtle care, both to avoid Facebook's ire and to avoid abuse.
