Only ones I use are YouTube and fb marketplace because Craigslist is totally dead here, but it's from an alt account I've never used for anything at all.

Yes, it isn't federated, but you can host your own server for your community. That way you are independent of any central organization.

Fediverse is awesome!!

People only move to Bluesky because they don't want to change their thinking and keep using "Twitter".

Bookface replicates the Facebook UI in Friendica

Multi-protocol would be awesome, hopefully down the line it'll come back around to adding some basic AP integration.

I can vouch for Signal. I got my whole family out of facebook messenger to make a new place for family chat. Even my parents in their mid 60s had no problem changing.

I can understand it. I was banned without reason from 3 of the top mastodon instances before even posting anything. Creating new accounts is a hassle, and it's easy to lose faith in the system when bans happen without reason and none of the instances cared to respond to my appeals. In heinsight, I'm sure the ban was due to my username looking like a hash, but I still find it crazy that the appeals were ignored.

I've seen some authors I like on Mastodon, like William Gibson. It's a quieter place but I like that about it, as someone who never used Twitter.

no one was actually on it
It might feel that way at first, but my Mastodon feed is very robust nowadays. You just need to follow more people.

Are you from the global south? Because it's still a common thing for SMS to be chargeable in many countries. And no one should be using SMS anyway. It's horribly insecure. At least use RCS.

I can vouch for Matrix unfortunately it is not listed and instead they mentioned Signal which is further from the fediverse.

That's Lemmy in a nutshell. Guillotine and Luigi memes are constantly repeated because they know that no one's actually going to act on that stuff, but any time anyone suggests a practical means to weaken the oligopoly people come out of the woodwork to shut it down.
