Happy #GlobalSwitchDay

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

This is such a beautiful guide!

I don’t get the joke

It require literally a minute, also creating an account isn't a thing people like to do.
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.

That’s what I said, dimwit.

I mean maybe but you could also just say "we did some whacky shit here help us fix" and let the community help you in the effort.

PeerTube appears to be completely devoid of content
It feels pretty quiet here. At least going by active posts. They're often the same for a while. New is a bit better. Unless it's my expectations that are wrong?

I heard that it was one of the earliest Fediverse projects. It just hadn't surged in popularity like Mastodon and Lemmy had after the Twitter and Reddit exodus.

Okay my bad let me make another comment saying
"Signal isn't federated"
There happy?
A little, yeah, oddly enough.

The UI is fucking awful and way too complex, so it's difficult to get anything done. I've tried two different instances and found them both to be unusable.
It's a shame because Friendica is way more powerful than most Fediverse platforms -- they leverage way more of ActivityHub's potential. But the UI needs to get sorted out before it's ready for mass adoption.

It’s funny how things work out.
I’ve spent years checking social media multiple times per day, and due to current (and not so current) events, I initially just deleted twitter. I tried mastodon, but it was a complete echo chamber. Twitter on the other hand was 25% bots and 50% porn, so I just deleted it. Turns out I didn’t miss it.
I recently did the same with Instagram, Facebook, TikTok and Snapchat. Guess what, not missing those either.
Facebook messenger is tough to get rid of though. I have kids that attend after school activities, and there aren’t really any easy fixes. I doubt I can successfully persuade 100+ people to migrate to signal just because of my political crusade.
It’s not being helped by the fact that ~75% of the people here use iPhones, so most communication not going through messenger goes through iMessage. Last I checked I knew a total of 4 people on signal, despite having 50+ people i regularly communicate with over messenger or iMessage.

They understand Twitter sucks now and it feels more peaceful on BlueSky.

Twitter was alright up until Elon took over so I’m willing to hang out until the billionaire psychopath swoops in.

no, there's tons of furries, like the rest of the fediverse. >.>
