It needs to be a distributed social media platform that does not obey a single for-profit entity and thus won't suffer from enshittification. Example: Mastodon.

Yes, the non-profit type of orgs would work. However, in a decentralized, interoperable system, for-profit entities could also work fine, since monopolization is not possible.
