· Föderation EN Fr 31.01.2025 22:04:48 Why? Signal is super easy to use for anyone. Matrix, while decentralised, takes some work and prior knowledge to get going. |

Föderation EN Fr 31.01.2025 22:07:39 Don't have enough knowledge to have a horse in this race. Just presenting both options. |
|
Föderation EN Fr 31.01.2025 22:10:27 Sure. My horse is to have people join the alternatives instead of staying with FB, Twitter and the likes. |

Föderation EN Fr 31.01.2025 22:36:07 Sure. But we also want people to be able to join easily. Matrix isn’t joined easily. To me, Signal is like BlueSky. It isn’t the best option, but it’s far better than where everybody is right now. And we need to get people moving and checking out the options. |

Föderation EN Fr 31.01.2025 23:11:26 @jens @mastodonmigration , supporting the mega companies of this world often makes them act above the law and just doing things because they're comfortable leads to things like these: |

Föderation EN Sa 01.02.2025 04:46:08 @jens @Antigrav @mastodonmigration look how difficult it is to dislodge then from facebook. How long will it take to move them from bluesky once it inevitably turns bad? It's a trap! |

Föderation EN Fr 31.01.2025 22:36:13 Signal, Threema and similar "alternatives" to Whatsapp are siloed, walled gardens. For our #digitalSovereignty, we need to have technology like the #fediverse, that does not depend on the Amazon cloud and can be shutdown by Jeff B. or DJT at their will. In the case of #instantMessaging, this technology exists since 1999 and is called #Jabber or #XMPP. A very easy to use app to join that network is #Quicksy (Android, iOS). Why not give it try? |
|
Föderation EN Fr 31.01.2025 22:51:06 Thanks for the suggestion! I haven’t had a Jabber/XMPP account since my iChat days. |
|
Föderation EN Fr 31.01.2025 23:44:13 Signal compared to Matrix is like Bluesky compared to Mastodon. better than WhatsApp but not good enough. |

Föderation EN Sa 01.02.2025 00:13:15 @wjmaggos @jens @mastodonmigration unlike Bluesky, @signalapp doesn't hold your social graph hostage by the explicit decision of the founder, Moxie. He disallowed handles in favor of phone numbers precisely because of that. To my knowledge the handles are still just aliases. He said that your phone book is your social graph. People are not and won't be hostage to Signal thanks to this decision. The companies only do #enshitificaton when they can get away with it. |

Föderation EN Sa 01.02.2025 04:43:26 @jens @mastodonmigration every centralized walled garden is super easy to use, what's your point? |
