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

Originally it was supposed to be ActivityPub based, but recently the posted something about it being for XMPP, Matrix and IRC as well
️ Maybe they decided to fork Pidgin 
IMHO Sup. isn't going to happen. They will have their hands more than full with Pixelfed's new popularity and maybe Loops.
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'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.

but it is not federated. that would be matrix

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

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.

Yeah same for me. I guess some (quite many actually) people are aware Whutsapp&Co is evil and are just waiting for an opportunity to make the move.

Pretty sure you don't pay (aka they are included) for SMS in most (and everywhere within) Europe (except Switzerland ofc...).
