Feel like Matrix or Email would have made more sense as a federated service for communication, but get Signal is a lot more well known.

My comment wasn't protesting the use of Signal; it was rather clarifying the misinformation in OP's post — ie misinformation that Signal is a federated service.

The app is really bare bones. It's also not federated (yet, but use a product for what it is right now, not what it promises to be).
Has potential but also dansup keeps running head-first into controversial takes.

How so? Seems like just a slightly different UI for the same thing to me?

E-mail is an excellent protocol for messaging, see delta.chat

And I really do appreciate that. He's doing some good stuff and really hope pixelfed and loops (and sup) continue on the momentum that they've got and gain a substantial enough Userbase that they're really enjoyable to use. Just wanted to add the extra context because I think that's relevant too!

He just really needs to let people help him more, he makes good stuff but it's kinda obvious it's getting a bit much for him sometimes, which is how we ended up with the stuff in your link lol.
A few times I've jumped in to the pixelfed discord before he split loops into its own one and he'd be in some crazy long rant, then you'd see him delete all his messages, dude needs a break or to delegate some of his work to the people who keep asking to help.
Good dude tho, just needs a rest I think, the tik tok thing kinda put some pressure on him to get it going quicker I think.

it’s decentralized
No it’s not. From literally your own comment:
Signal relies on centralized servers
I was using "decentralized" to mean that there isn't centralized control over ownership of the service in general — eg anyone can spin up their own server, and people can use it (making it decentralized, imo), but people who use that server can only use that server (making it not federated). But yes it could still be said to be centralized in that it operates on a client-server model.
This is more an argument of definitions, though. I'm not trying to claim anything in bad faith.

This should promote matrix, not signal
