Happy #GlobalSwitchDay

Are you kidding me?
I thought it was more than that when I called it a ghost town.

Imagine if in the entirety of Lemmy, in all channels of all instances, there was a total of 6 posts per hour, and none of them were in channels you wanted to subscribe to.

It's a scam, anti-libre software.

[spatchyisonline@lemmy.world]

Matrix isn't fediverse though. It is Federated but uses its own protocol

[elrecoal19_0@lemmy.world]

Well, Signal isn't federated either, and doesn't have a fediverse-like technology like Matrix does...

[autonomoususer@lemmy.world]

No one pays for SMS.

[autonomoususer@lemmy.world]

No end-to-end encryption

[malcriada_lala@lemmy.world]

I like this. I hope it starts conversations. Does anyone know if there are good alternatives to Discord?

[autonomoususer@lemmy.world]

PipePipe is on F-Droid

[pseudo@jlai.lu]

Yes but it is still better than SMS.

[cabbage_pout61@lemmy.world]

My trouble as well, I'd love to switch from Whatsapp, but literally every person I talk to and most people in my city/estate/country uses It.

There's a "vendor lock" term, maybe this would be a "social lock"?

[autonomoususer@lemmy.world]

You don not have a solution.

[autonomoususer@lemmy.world]

No, Matrix is federated differently.

[autonomoususer@lemmy.world]

No, that's anti-libre software.

[autonomoususer@lemmy.world]

Loops is anti-libre software.

[yarharsuperstar@lemmy.world]

I was told that unless you self host, matrix is less secure because it leaks more metadata. Something to consider

[autonomoususer@lemmy.world]

Thank you. Please jump in faster with a tldr of this on copycat posts.

[kemsat@lemmy.world]

Is there an app for Loops.video?

[autonomoususer@lemmy.world]

Saying it's secure feeds their scam. At least we don't pay for it like SMS.

[ptidfej@lemmynsfw.com]

There is one !
I have downloaded the APK, but I think there is also a testflight for iOS

[ptidfej@lemmynsfw.com]

Yes, there is Matrix
