You are correct. Streams is Fediverse software that you install on a server.
I initially misunderstood your question, so deleted my post. Sorry about that.

I let go and switched to the private program/service.
Run your own instance. It’s the only way you’ll be able to set your own policies. Otherwise you’re subject to policies of the instance you’re on and those policies may change at any time.
Yes. Synapse is the server side part of Matrix. You install it at a Matrix host, or on a VPS, or even a Raspberry PI device. See https://github.com/matrix-org/synapse#installing-and-configuration
Once up and running you connect a client like Element to it.
Host your own Synapse instance and lock it down to your users.
Setup a Koel instance at a host of your choice. Upload your music to it and stream from that. See https://koel.dev/
I take the host my own instance path. It’s safer and more stable than relying on a third party.
Good question.
I’ve don’t think I’ve ever used an Adobe product. While they may be huge in specific fields, there are other options. Yes, extra time, training, and money will need to be used to move to alternatives, but what’s the other option? Continue giving Adobe money and support their monopoly? Be the change you want to see.
There’s always options.
I’m not saying any of those are easy options. In fact, you may have no good options today. But you don’t need to stay that way forever. Explore what options you could have next year, or the year after. What can you work toward?
At the end of the day, the more everybody gives in and allows the abuse to happen, the move it will be normalized and accepted. If you don’t like what is happening, then make changes in what you accept in your life.
I use Koel. https://koel.dev/
Install it at a host of your choice and access it in a web browser or with mobile apps.
I hear your frustration, but there are other options. They won’t necessarily be the same, or perhaps equivalent in every way, but they do exist. You don’t have to use the same corporations over and over again.
Add some memory and hard drives and slap TrueNas or Unraid on it.
That bad?
Last time I used Windows on my own was back in the XP days. I saw some of the early Vista and it was even worse. I can’t imagine what the recent versions are like.
Wallabag might work.
You’re not alone, but even people who claim to want privacy are typically unwilling to stop using the very things that violate their privacy. I suspect that until that changes on a mass scale, the expectation that you should give up your data will remain.
Conversations, Cheogram, Dino are the ones I’ve used.
Nope. It’s public. Assume everybody has a copy of everything sent over ActivityPub.
Mastodon and friends are built as open conduits with very little in the way of safety or permissions. Spam should be expected.
It’s not a Fediverse vulnerability. It’s a Mastodon vulnerability. Don’t want spam? Use a better fediverse technology.
