Woo! Made one of first steps of switching today!

Lol shouting in the void is a funny way to describe it. I mean... why even need the fediverse. I can shout at my mirror.
-
The problem is the moment there is another instance then loops.video won't even make sense as that is just the name of the instance and not the application.
-
But Revolt isn't federated is it? It wouldn't fit here any more than signal.
-
I think in recent years the lines have been blurred but I would say Matrix is more "Discord-like" because it is account-centric rather than phone-centric and is designed more around communities than 1:1 IM's to replace texting.
-
That seems a little extreme. I would maybe agree if 1) it wasn't being made by the guy who has already got an AGPL project in Pixelfed and 2) it was on open signups. Whilst software is invite-only or closed entirely I don't really see a problem in it not being open-sourced.

Oh no, I wasn't aware, sorry for you
Hope they take in new users soon -

Looks like Loops isn't accepting new users at the moment. Hopefully that'll open up again soon.

yeah I'll be honest, peertube is nowhere near a youtube replacement

I keep seeing this type stuff but neither peertube or friendica are genuine replacements at this point, mastodon is weaksauce compared to akkoma or a misskey fork, and loops is alpha software. also yes signal is centralized but it just works and has contact discovery so it owns matrix and xmpp when compared to whatsapp. basically none of this stuff is truly ready

Loop.video is âcurrently not accepting new membersâ.

Is there only one website?
-
Both Wikipedia and fediverse.party consider Diaspora, and a handful of other (mostly defunct) protocols as being part of the fediverse.
I don't really like the use of AP to be a qualification of being in the fediverse. There must be a better way to qualify a platform, even if it means that use of AP is a natural consequence.

Sms is bad if you care about privacy, but great for voyeurs.
I frequently send dick pics between two of my phone numbers with fake messages about selling drugs and blowing things up attached, triggering them for a manual review in the government/carrierâs office.
Signal is very useful for minorities and anyone whoâs actually planning a terrorist attack.

Why does software have a political stance?
