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...

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.

It's a scam, anti-libre software.

You do not have a solution.

No, Matrix is federated differently.

No, that's anti-libre software.

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.

Is there an app for Loops.video?

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

I have downloaded the APK, but I think there is also a testflight for iOS -
Yes, there is Matrix

Damm, didn't know that, good to know

TeamSpeak is doing an overhaul to be similar to Discord. You can self host.
