You're right. It does not fit the initial picture.

Okay my bad let me make another comment saying
"Signal isn't federated"
There happy?

I know, I’m not even going to try. I can already hear the crying and gnashing of teeth.

Based on what? It’s not like you can immediately notice if your data is being stolen.

I find youtube to be the hardest one on this list
Agreed as peertube is great the creators i enjoy to watch dont upload there
-
There is also simplex chat

Youtube is the only one on this list that I use and I only use it with an ad blocker.

I use threema with family but getting others to use yet another app (especially for thin social connections) is difficult.
Depends on your threat model though, I guess.

The post says "fediverse" which by its very name implies they are all interconnected.

With Signal you just have to install the App and make an account to start chatting with your friends and family. SimpleX requires me to send a link or QR code to everybody I want to interact with. You will have a hard time convincing anyone to do that. Compare that to the first Twitter exodus, people chose Bluesky over Mastodon because picking a server was 'difficult'. The average person doesn't care about technology at all and will always pick the path of least resistance.
It require literally a minute, also creating an account isn't a thing people like to do.

Then it's official. SMS is so ass, one cannot even.

PeerTube appears to be completely devoid of content

Based on the interaction with the app. The features are extensive. There's no ads. My data has most likely been leaked by American companies anyways, so what's the big deal?

Signal is not federated.

I've been looking for something to track my physical book, music, and game collections. An instance of this might work nicely. Thanks!

True which is why WhatsApp, Facebook Messenger and Telegram still reign supreme. Don't forget that its a minute for each person I want to contact, why bother if I already have the phone number of everybody I know. SimpleX targets a different market than the previously mentioned Messengers and that's OK but it also means its a no-go for anyone outside that market. Signal on the other hand is targeting the same market and thus is a viable alternative and for that reason I could convince my friends and family including my grandmother to use it instead.

Also creating account require a minute or more.
