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.

PipePipe is on F-Droid

It's a scam, anti-libre software.

Switching from WhatsApp to any other messaging service isn't a realistic option for quite many places. I'd be more than willing to switch but of all the people in my contacts (including my entire customer base) there's like 3 people using Signal but every single one of them has WhatsApp. Even the 60+ year olds.

You do not have a solution.

No, Matrix is federated differently.
-
No, that's anti-libre software.

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

Damm, didn't know that, good to know

Personally I see no benefit in it.
There benefit would be exactly what this top comment is about. For all those people in your contacts who don't use signal, you could still use signal to message them, it would just be an SMS message. It would therefore also become more enticing for people to switch from their stock SMS app to signal, because it would make no difference in terms of who you can send SMS messages to. It would allow for the signal user base to grow, solving the issue of "no one uses signal"
