I wouldn't go anywhere. Perhaps there are other oases like this on the Internet, but as far as I know Velocio is the only one who's declined the option to mine user data. Ever since Google turned the Internet against its users, the model of sucking people in by pretending that on-line activities are 'free', it's effectively turned into a dystopian nightmare.
A much better strategy for governments (and probably, ultimately, essential to their survival) would be to simply outlaw data-exploiting anti-social media shites, but obviously there's no chance of that.
