Oh, you’re the guy! Thanks for hosting it for absolutely free! I got my son’s band videos out to their fanbase and loved ones because of your work.

I’ve never heard of Orkut, the only Google social network I ever used was Google+. When I first heard about Facebook I couldn’t even sign up because my college wasn’t a supported .edu…lol and I guess the Facebook format/design isn’t inherently bad, just the algorithm is horrendous. There are more adds and post from suggested groups than people and groups I follow on my feed. Then the post from Threads a social network I don’t even use forced on me and adds in the notifications. It’s just a garbage experience and way of going about things. Although it’s still hard to see the point of an alternative that the people I know IRL aren’t on when I have Mastodon, BlueSky and Lemmy for like minded people.
The point is that you can invite the people in your life to try it out. Just like Facebook in the early days. Except it doesn’t have the hostile UX of Facebook.

Good point, thats the correct way to look at it.

Yes! Internet fame achieved!!

they don't have it on the new app yet, and it's not super intuitive to begin with compared to signal or whatsapp
-
matrix and xmpp just don't have the intuitive onboarding that signal has when coming from whatsapp
-
Signal is centralised.

You now understood both my point and the OC’s, I hope.
-
the new cryptographic protocol protects metadata, like signal. the servers know nothing about any encrypted chats

Kinda feels like bluesky is already going to hell in a handbasket, so maybe not.

They are treated like letters because they arent instant, like letters. Hell, some emails could take full minutes to send.
Only time I have the problem is when people attach large files. While is the same problem with other "IM" methods.

While not part of the fediverse if you want Twitter like activity I would suggest BlueSky. However I am also on Mastodon and I find it to have plenty of activity. It’s not the fire hose that Twitter is but to me that makes it much more manageable.

Scan a QR isn't difficult, there are also tantum links

George Takei is active of mastodon. There are many journalists and scientists. Tons of developers. A few small celebs. Also, many people I don't want to be here are not here. That's a plus for me.
