Could the software selection be more diverse? There's also MBin/Piefed, and Misskey/Sharkey/Firefish/Akkoma/Iceshrimp.
PS: Signal is not federated at all, it's centralized. It should either be replaced with SimpleX or matrix/Jabber.

How so? Seems like just a slightly different UI for the same thing to me?
You think email's UI is only "slightly" different than the UI of chats? I disagree very strongly. The two are extremely different. Email is this weird amalgamation of messages and forums depending on how your client and everyone in the email thread is using it. You can have arbitrarily styling in messages. You can send messages to whoever whenever. Chats are much more focused and linear by comparison.

Bluesky isn't federated as much as they pretend to be and say "they're working on it"
It's just another corporate social platform that will fall into the same thing
-
Not sure what to say to that. Nobody in my group would consider classic email and IMs equivalent, unless you're layering an extra UI layer on top like what the other commentor mentioned.

Unfortunately, I don't know a single person who uses Friendica, and that is also, unfortunately, self-defeating because there's no way I could convince them to go without more than just me using it.

If only there was a website that helps you choose, instead of inclining users to just use lemmy and only lemmy.world anyway. (also with mastodon and mastodon.social).
Overall i think more software choices are great but you are right in that it could repel users

For the avid readers out there, bookwyrm is a fantastic alternative to goodreads.

Apparently it makes a good RSS feed aggregator if nothing else.

SimpleX chat is pretty wild and untraditional (no user IDs), people should give it try.

Don't worry, your successor isn't offering anything big. You'll still be around for many more days to come.

It's cool, thought people should still be wary of it since it's new and backed by VC.
I'd give it a little more until i switch fully to it, but it 100% is better than WA.
