@dansup This is super helpful! Thank you! I just got on Mastodon! I have been off social media for a minute but wanted to get back in, just not on Meta apps!

[adbenitez@mastodon.social]

@dansup I recommend #DeltaChat as alternative to #WhatsApp, Delta Chat is decentralized, no phone number required etc.

[mr_dirac@mastodon.social]

@dansup anyone using SimpleX?

[kaidenfox@mastodon.social]

@dansup hmm, I'll try the TikTok one. TikTok is out of control with the censorship now. They kissed the orange ring.

I can't seem to find it. I highly recommend Neptune but it's just starting beta now. You can sign up for beta but you might be placed on a wait list.

@dansup swap X for #bluesky and never go back!

[raulespim@mastodon.social]

@dansup should SimpleX app wouldn't be better than Signal?

[ecmartz@mastodon.social]

@dansup WhatsApp for DeltaChat

[warmaster@mastodon.social]

@dansup Signal should not be there at all.

[nokzemedia@mastodon.social]

@dansup well at least i'm prepared

[gogojack@mastodon.social]

@dansup Never was on Xitter, but I'm here. Never been on "insta," or What'sApp, or TikTok. Debating leaving FB and not switching to anything. YT with ad blockers and a VPN for now.

[jakofields@mastodon.social]

@dansup Long interesting discussion! Another idea, while we’re at it, might be to buy a Fairphone with /e/os and resist the temptation of installing the ‘wrong apps’. They also sell tablets. Reasonably locked down Linux on your computer and you’re set. Am I the only one who sees the irony of choosing ‘safe’ apps but still using the machines and os’ of the beast? :-). If you have to use them at work, wait till you get home to socialize online, or take your Fairphone on your pee break.

@dansup apart from Mastodon and Signal i don't think other alternatives are as polished yet.

[steph71@mastodon.social]

@dansup what fantastic marketing effort. I am sharing with friends...

[shirobloo@mastodon.social]

@dansup How do I get Loops? Not on Google Play as far as I can see

[3dmvr@mastodon.social]

@dansup mfs need to stop forgetting lemmy

[3dmvr@mastodon.social]

@dansup Lemmy is the most usable one and the only I frequent daily out of the whole fediverse, even with the lower numbers in comparison, its consistent with it's growth and way more constructive than reddit
