It should be Mastodon. This is the same shit with a different name
Bluesky is (in theory) federated, but I think you can't run your own server yet. We'll see if they keep their promise.
Its protocol has some improvements over ActivityPub, for example you can use a domain name you own as your username even if you're not hosting your own instance, and your user identity is portable in that case - you can move to a different instance but keep the same username.
They've followed through on their promises so far, and you can actually self-host pretty much the whole stack today:

I'd perfer for mastodon to take off personally, but really at this point both are good options and worlds better than twitter.
