I was already on Mastodon by just having a Vivaldi (the chromium browser) account, and it's just lovely
I've spent most of the day setting up lemmy, even though I joined feddit.dk 2 years ago, it's only just now I'm taking it seriously.
And, while not related to the fediverse per se, I switched to linux a year ago.
The only service that's hard to drop/switch away from is Youtube imo.
I keep seeing this type stuff but neither peertube or friendica are genuine replacements at this point, mastodon is weaksauce compared to akkoma or a misskey fork, and loops is alpha software. also yes signal is centralized but it just works and has contact discovery so it owns matrix and xmpp when compared to whatsapp. basically none of this stuff is truly ready
As software, PeerTube is great and there’s actually plenty of content to consume if you can find it. The more content creators we can get to use PeerTube, the more appealing PeerTube will also become.
Check this link out, if looking for content: https://peertube.wtf/
matrix too has contact discovery, if you add your phone number (or email). most users don't, and that tells me something
Loop.video is “currently not accepting new members”.
Damn
I was able to sign up just after seeing this comment. The wait is only 2 days...
Friendica seems like a new thing? No apps for that yet either
Bookface replicates the Facebook UI in Friendica :)
It's been here the a long time actually
Raccoon
FB Marketplace --> Flohmarkt is missing!
I haven't heard of it yet but it's very interesting! link for those who struggle to find it among german search results
I like this. I hope it starts conversations. Does anyone know if there are good alternatives to Discord?
Revolt is the way.
Matrix. Seems to be the hottest thing for group chats. Also what a lot of open source projects that used IRC before are switching to (or, if not switching, are providing a bridge for).
Signal is centralized, loops is closed source and not accepting new users.
Switching from WhatsApp to any other messaging service isn't a realistic option for quite many places. I'd be more than willing to switch but of all the people in my contacts (including my entire customer base) there's like 3 people using Signal but every single one of them has WhatsApp. Even the 60+ year olds.
Same (Brazil), Whatsapp is pretty much a requirement and I hate that I'm forced to give Meta my information by using their shitty app.
