Or just go to rednote instead
I can't find its libre software licence text file.

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

I do, use Signal if you care about privacy. They are the only game in town when it comes to reasonably secure chat software. Sure, I would prefer a federated alternative but I haven't found one yet that is always end-to-end encrypted, open source, implements forward secrecy, and is user friendly enough to be used by my grandmother.

why signal?

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/carrier’s office.
Signal is very useful for minorities and anyone who’s actually planning a terrorist attack.
Briar is better for particular dangerous situations, SimpleX is a 'more confy' great alternative.

An change your email to protonmail or tutamail. Starve those gmails, outlooks, iCloud’s and etc
-
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
The best number-free protocol is SimpleX atm

FB Marketplace --> Flohmarkt is missing!

That really is not a satisfying answer. It is incredibly nebulous and even if it did have a nice definition I guarantee most software developers will tell you a lot of software rarely reaches that state.
I can see why they might want to avoid 1000 GitHub issues bike shedding things but they could open source the code and just not have open contribution
or they can also disable submitting issues for now
-
Loops is anti-libre software confirmed.
anti? is it against libre software? because it doesn't seem so
-
Leaks more metadata? What does that mean?
sender, recipient, chatroom, what kind of event you sent (message, emoji, reaction, vote), if you responded to a message, room privilege changes, etc
but it's a question how big of a problem is that. they want to tackle it in the future, but that's far away for now I think

I saw someone suggest Yandex as a Google substitute in de-Google thread recently...lol

Loop.video is “currently not accepting new members”.
