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!

Protonmail aren't necessarily worthy of the support, look up the recent news about them
Yes I noticed that, that’s why I changed to tutamail.
It’s everywhere this neofascism wild capitalism thing -

Loops isnt even federated or open source yet. Deleted my account

Signal is centralized, loops is closed source and not accepting new users.

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.

Bad on-boarding

Yes finding the right instance on peertube is a nightmare — and also the general lack of quality content, or subtitling, which makes it as good as useless for deaf people like me.
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.).

That's why Signal's spreading and your not.

Right in the Signal box, it says "Or Matrix/XMPP". It's super tiny for some reason.

No ones paying for SMS.

Hey, wouldn't it be great if Signal still supported SMS?

Wouldn't Matrix be a better alternative to Signal, since it doesn't need a number and the main/default instance (matrix.org) is based on the EU? Maybe it has a too difficult learning curve to the average user, though
