@dansup Whatsapp -> @xmpp

@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

@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 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

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

@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.
