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

At least WhatsApp is encrypted and let you have propre group chat
-
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.
-
Signal is not Fediverse! Element/Matrix is!
-
No, that's anti-libre software.
