[–] davidagain@lemmy.world 18 points 2 years ago (1 child) Absolutely, signal isn't federated, but I don't want my messaging app to be federated. I want my social media to be federated. Lemmy is good because it's open. Signal is good because it's shut. permalink fedilink source parent hideshow 2 child comments replies: [–] acockworkorange@mander.xyz 1 point 2 years ago That’s your preference and there’s nothing wrong with it. Doesn’t make Signal a Fediverse alternative. Matrix fits that use case. I prefer my messaging to be federated for the same reason I don’t want my other services depending on the benevolence of a single actor. But that’s me. permalink fedilink source parent
