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.

At least WhatsApp is encrypted and let you have propre group chat
It's a scam, anti-libre software.

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
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.

Is there an android app for loops.video? I can't find one.
Loops is anti-libre software.

I was told that unless you self host, matrix is less secure because it leaks more metadata. Something to consider

Hi, I think too many people are focusing too much on the type of software included in this chart. I don't think the goal of the person that created the chart was to create the ultimate guide to move to the Fediverse or FOSS apps with all the options available for them. I believe it prioritizes simplicity, and it's clearly directed towards people unaware that these alternatives exist.
Most people I know don't even know what the Fediverse is, and I think this initiative is for them.
I know that debating which FOSS/Fedi apps are the best is a big matter of concern for people that are already aware of the problems some platform have. But focusing too much on this debate not only creates more division among supporters of FOSS/Fedi, but it is also drawing attention from the main point: Bringing more people to the Fediverse.
Thank you. Please jump in faster with a tldr of this on copycat posts.

Saying it's secure feeds their scam. At least we don't pay for it like SMS.

There is one !
I have downloaded the APK, but I think there is also a testflight for iOS
