@dansup Whatsapp -> @xmpp

buage@mastodon.social

@dansup Signal is good but i'd say Session is the best in my opinion

kitkat@climatejustice.social

@dansup Signal isn't federated or open -> Matrix/XMPP

pr06lefs@mastodon.social

@dansup I knew about John Mastodon, but now John Peertube?

drahngis@social.vivaldi.net

@dansup friendica is horrible. just horrible, the other apps are great, but still have weird flaws. like in mastodon, if I see a post that is really really really really long it takes forever to scroll past it, especially if this person spams. there is no "see more" text to a long text. and in mastodon just replying to you, is a small window to the left of the post.

peertube won't won't without money for the creators, somehow.

@dansup signal isnt open source or federated, is it?

@dansup Signal is not federated or decentralized and runs on AWS. I highly recommend @simplex first or @matrix or @xmpp over it.

@dansup

> Federated

Signal??? really???

more like The Great Joke

pwm@darkdork.dev

@dansup In what possible sense of the word is signal federated? I genuinely was unaware of this.

gilraen79@mastodon.social

@dansup I have been using Matrix on FluffyChat and Element X instead of WhatsApp and it's just amazing. I prefer it to Signal.

martinaneumayer@mastodon.social

@kitkat Client app is open source, but not the server part. It isn't federated and additionally is very dependent on the aws infrastructure.

@dansup @matrix @xmpp signal still just crashes on startup on my Huawei phone. It apparently uses google APIs so it certainly isn't escaping from BigTech.

damianwalsh@mastodon.social

@dansup LinkedIn → ? Someone should do that, just sayin’

techindepth27@mastodon.social

@pwm It's not; that's why there's an asterisk by it with a note at the bottom.
I'm guessing he added it as there's not really a federated messaging platform at the level of WhatsApp yet.

techindepth27@mastodon.social

@hyc I've used it just fine on a De-Googled Pixel running GrapheneOS without G Play Services. Might be something specific with Huawei, but I have no clue

ulmo@masto.es

@dansup @matrix @xmpp I wish people would use Simple X en masse instead of WhatsApp.

pwm@darkdork.dev

@techindepth27 oh the post got edited, I see.
Deltachat would be a sane suggestion in its place imo as it runs over email. Alas.

adbenitez@mastodon.social

@dansup fixed one of the images for you

techindepth27@mastodon.social

@pwm Looks interesting, I don't think I've heard of Deltachat before. By far the biggest issue with new messaging apps is you have to get everyone you're talking to to switch too and I just got most of them to get Signal so I don't think I'm going to be able to get them to switch again lol
