Signal isn't federated; it is decentralized ^[1]^. Though, for all practical purposes, I would generally argue that it's centralized.

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

There's also SimpleX, though it's much less popular. (not like Signal is used everywhere though, it's just a matter of what you switch your group to.)
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.

Yeah. I love Signal but it doesn't belong in that list. Dansup (creator of loops and pixelfed) is apparently working on "Sup" that will be a decentralized alternative to whatsapp.
To me this person sounds like they have too many big projects at once. I wish them success tho

Agreed most others wouldn't use email as a replacement for casual chat, but its always seemed like an arbitrary choice. So many people waste so much space in emails because they treat them like letters, so the biggest difference seems to be the culture around them rather than the medium itself. If people formatted all text messages as
"Hello Dear Friend,
Here is stuff to waste space.
Here's what I actually want to say.
More extra stuff.
Sincerely,
Walrus"I doubt we would see that much of a difference between them.

I think it's just the colours for the peertube one. I like that it's three individual play icons to signify the federation aspect, but the colours are just dull.

Yeah it’s an easy fix to update the colors, logo shape can remain.
