Happy #GlobalSwitchDay

Matrix is federated, Signal is not.
although it is federated, it isn't apart of the fediverse, as it doesn't use activitypub.

I’d argue it’s part of “the fediverse” but not “The Fediverse”.
-
Fair point, definitely still apart of the same style of platform but not the same protocol.
-
There isn't much information about "Sup", but if I had to guess it could be that dansup is making sup app with XMPP(rotocol) as the messaging protocol.
That would be rad if true ^^

Unfortunately, the switch from YouTube to PeerTube has not worked for me so far. I can't find a decent instance (not full of right-wing/conspiracy content) with interesting stuff that also allows me to make an account.
Yes finding the right instance on peertube is a nightmare — and also the general lack of quality content, or subtitling, which makes it as good as useless for deaf people like me.

I like the Lemmy one, but peertubes logo looks like it's gonna stab my eyeballs in my sleep

Let's hope so!

Might be talking about the Bookwyrm client on F-Droid?

A federated social fitness app(like Strava) would be cool

I wish Boost understood the collapsible spoilers.
On my client, it's all expanded and I see all the formatting characters. It looks/works great in a browser though.
Same with Sync, unfortunately.

The Lemmy logo always looks so sad or angry to me. Wished he could oook happier.
The only ones on the right I really like and signal and friendica. (I had never seen the friendica logo before. This is really well done whoever designed that. Good job.)
All the big guys of course can afford graphic design teams and marketing/PR research.
The notable exception for me is mastodon. While I’m still not a big fan of that logo either, it certainly looks better than the X logo. I’m guessing Musk DOGE’d his design teams in favor of some yes-men.

I went back to check. This is correct. It's the un official one in f-droid.
My bad!

Signal is not Fediverse! Element/Matrix is!
-
Element/matrix aren't part of the fediverse, either. It doesn't speak AP.
I'd like to argue that using AP is an inconsistent rule for membership. For example, Diaspora has been considered to be part of the fediverse from early on, but it doesn't use AP.
I don't really know where to draw the line. AP simply isn't suitable for some applications, but it makes sense to include it for branding

Anyone on Loops? I tried signing up a few days ago, but the sign up page wasn't working. Now the landing page says they aren't accepting new users.

The colors in the peertube logo are pretty hideous.

but I no longer believe that it is possible to build a competitive federated messenger at all.
The fact that we have a telephone system that works with separate providers contradicts this sentiment. If I want to pick up the phone and talk to my cousin's puppy in New Zealand, I can do that without creating an account on his provider's service.
I don't understand why we've forgotten this as a society. Yes, it was difficult to upgrade the phone systems over the past century, but it's worth it in my opinion. I really wish we'd start seeing government regulation that says "you should be able to talk to someone on a service without having to create an account on said service." I thought the DMA would do this, but sadly, Whatsapp still requires an account to talk to people using that service. Very disappointing.
