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

Where is matrix?
Right in the Signal box, it says "Or Matrix/XMPP". It's super tiny for some reason.
-
They used to allow their client to be used to send unsecured SMS. Then they stopped. Whatever they thought they were doing, they killed the simplest path to onboarding laypeople they had. I kinda gave up on signal after that.
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

At least WhatsApp is encrypted and let you have propre group chat
-
Loops will be open sourced later they say.
Is Loops open source?
It will be! We plan on open sourcing the platform after it reaches a stable and easy to maintain state.That means very little to me. Actions speak louder than words, and it would probably help the development of loops if it was actually open source.

Personally I see no benefit in it.

How is it a ghost town if there is a new video someone posts like every 10 minutes?
Are you kidding me?
I thought it was more than that when I called it a ghost town.Imagine if in the entirety of Lemmy, in all channels of all instances, there was a total of 6 posts per hour, and none of them were in channels you wanted to subscribe to.

It's a scam, anti-libre software.

Matrix isn't fediverse though. It is Federated but uses its own protocol

Well, Signal isn't federated either, and doesn't have a fediverse-like technology like Matrix does...

I like this. I hope it starts conversations. Does anyone know if there are good alternatives to Discord?

PipePipe is on F-Droid

Yes but it is still better than SMS.
-
My trouble as well, I'd love to switch from Whatsapp, but literally every person I talk to and most people in my city/estate/country uses It.
There's a "vendor lock" term, maybe this would be a "social lock"?
-
You do not have a solution.
-
No, Matrix is federated differently.
