Signal is not federated. Matrix or xmpp is the federated chat
Signal is centralised and most certainly NOT part of the fediverse
this meme is sending the wrong signal
What is suggested alternative?
IRC
probably matrix. it’s decentralised, but not with the same protocol as the other things in the list. which makes sense, instant messaging is not social media.
My friends and family use Briar. It is without a question the most secure, most private option.
briar is great, but i don’t think any of these services are really recommended for their privacy. rather, it’s ease of switching. doesn’t briar require in-person verification?
Pixelfed and Loops aren’t ready for migration. Account creation is still disabled and requires several messages to work around the beta splash page.
Pixelfed worked for me creating a new account.
Loops hasn’t worked
But ymmv
Pixelfed worked for me too, super easy registration.
Loops worked for me but I had to register. Only took like 10 minutes to get the email about 2 months ago.
as far as I’m aware there’s still no android app
There is. Its not just a web wrapper either as far as I can tell.
I couldn’t find it. Where do I download it
Yeah I can’t find anymore either tbh. It was on their website loops.video
Loops, huh? I’ll check that out.
Oh wait.
“We’re not accepting new users at this time.”
It’s still in early stages of development.
It seems like they open up registrations in waves while it’s still in development. Signups were open just a couple weeks ago, so I imagine they’ll probably turn them back on again soon.
Loops.Video is ‘not accepting new users at this time’
I love when I try to switch apps like this and instead of content I get explanations of some Fediverse bs on 10 screens and have to pick instances I know nothing about, wondering if I will have a bad experience with what I picked, so I just abandon ship
And when I manage to finish the process I get either something that’s not working or a majorly inferior experience. Lemmy is the only thing I managed to stick with. Before good clients became available for it, it also wasn’t looking good
Can you talk to your Facebook friends on Signal?
