An change your email to protonmail or tutamail. Starve those gmails, outlooks, iCloud’s and etc
Protonmail aren't necessarily worthy of the support, look up the recent news about them
-
Oh! didn't know that, I thought activitypub can't be used for secure messaging. Lol really hope its XMPP!
Yeah I didn't take it that seriously when it was announced right now. Just hope pixelfed stays afloat amidst the user flood and hope he can publish loops as open source soon!

Have a look here for potential instances: https://lemmy.wtf/post/15816115 and also check these links out for channels to follow: https://lemmy.wtf/post/15810205 / https://peertube.wtf/home

Damn. Yeah let's hope he can hire some help...

Nice to see the rear of them, was tough making the call to disconnect from a bunch of people, but I've told them where to find me. Hopefully it snowballs!

Yes I noticed that, that’s why I changed to tutamail.
It’s everywhere this neofascism wild capitalism thing -

Switching from WhatsApp to any other messaging service isn't a realistic option for quite many places. I'd be more than willing to switch but of all the people in my contacts (including my entire customer base) there's like 3 people using Signal but every single one of them has WhatsApp. Even the 60+ year olds.

In my case I deleted instagram, instead of whatsapp I'm going to Matrix (I'll see who I get there), I changed Reddit for Lemmy and I'm trying to find an active Peertube instance that allows for account creation, live, and uploading videos

I agree. If it's not libre from the start, we should not trust it. The term "open source" is ambigious, they could put it under some other license where they can just go closed source again.
-
So Matrix it is?
-
So, is Matrix like halfway between Whatsapp and Discord? I downloaded it and I still don't know much about it. I felt like it was more Whatsapp-like
-
Here Revolt is suggested as an alternative to Discord which looks quite similar.

@[email protected] I have a self-hosted Revolt instance (Discord alternative). The primary server can be found via this link: https://199x.chat/invite/K6pFvcy3 Like Discord, anyone can create their own server and invite others. I find it to be more user-friendly than Matrix.

This isn't helping.

It's not an alternate way to view Youtube, it's a totally separate service. You're not missing anything, if no one's using it to post content, then there's no content. Youtube is a tough one to compete with because the infrastructure needed to host that much data and distribute it is insane. Peertube is super niche and not many know about it, but I do wonder how fast scaling would become a problem if it suddenly got an influx of new users.
Apart from that, it has to compete against the content monopoly Youtube has on the video platform industry.

Loops is anti-libre software confirmed.

There is always SMS for these.

Bad on-boarding

Yeah, it is already hard to find reasons to use it for the average user, so people with disabilities (deafness, blindness,intellectual etc.) probably even have reasons to NOT use them (no subtitles, each instance might have different elements or structure that might be a nightmare for screen readers, it might be too complex for some people, etc.).
-
I’ll
That's why Signal's spreading and your not.
