There are no privacy-preserving social media apps. There are privacy-invading by design, and some of them, like Facebook, even have an explicit goal of using real names and connections. Your only option here is to dump social media altogether.
Other things like DNS filters/adblockers and privacy settings can help, but they do comparatively little for your privacy compared to quitting social media. And the best thing is that you don't need to be tech-savvy, you just need some awareness and maturity.

Even something like Mastodon? Where's the privacy invading part, the fact that you're uploading vacation pics for others to view, or that it's building a dossier of your interests for advertising purposes?
