NewPipe is awful for Peertube. You have to add AND SEARCH every single instance manually. It's only useful if there is a creator on a specific instance that you specifically want to watch.

Thank you, this covers everything I could have thought of!

I'm not really all that invested in trying out Friendica, because Facebook is basically the exact sort of social network service that I really don't give a darn about. I wanted to check it anyway, but the only tangible information on what Friendica is about is the project/marketing page. I can't browse the instances. If I go to your massive social platform, the last thing I want to see is just a brick wall of a login page. Then I looked at fedidb and... um, those aren't huge user numbers.

So I guess I'll keep posting on the services that seem more sensible to me, like Mastodon, Pixelfed and Lemmy.

Signal is centralized, loops is closed source and not accepting new users.

Originally it was supposed to be ActivityPub based, but recently the posted something about it being for XMPP, Matrix and IRC as well ‍️ Maybe they decided to fork Pidgin

IMHO Sup. isn't going to happen. They will have their hands more than full with Pixelfed's new popularity and maybe Loops.

D* generally isn't, excepting the few instances that also speak AP.

Where is matrix?

[email protected]

Hidden inside the whatsapp->signal box in tiny faint font. I was wondering why there isn't a big "Discord -> Matrix"

Given that I’ve waited 3 weeks to join his smaller instance of pixelfed.art, I can tell things are already piling up. I am hoping the kickstarter does help.

Loops will be open sourced later they say.

Is Loops open source?
It will be! We plan on open sourcing the platform after it reaches a stable and easy to maintain state.

[email protected]

Yeah it’s no where near ready for mass adoption. It’s made a couple improvements, but it crashes every time I try to leave a comment.

[email protected]

That really is not a satisfying answer. It is incredibly nebulous and even if it did have a nice definition I guarantee most software developers will tell you a lot of software rarely reaches that state.

I can see why they might want to avoid 1000 GitHub issues bike shedding things but they could open source the code and just not have open contribution

[email protected]

I already done my part. I only keep WhatsApp for professional reasons (and barely use it) but the rest is already done.

An change your email to protonmail or tutamail. Starve those gmails, outlooks, iCloud’s and etc

The app is not really that great yet. I suggest to check this page out for content creators on PeerTube: https://peertube.wtf/home and also this list: https://lemmy.wtf/post/15810205

If you are also looking for a PeerTube server to register on, I suggest you look here: https://lemmy.wtf/post/15816115

There will definitely be few content creators who post to PeerTube, if they are dependent on ad revenue. Those creators that are not, have a much easier time posting to PeerTube, because they essentially expand their reach.

[email protected]

Protonmail aren't necessarily worthy of the support, look up the recent news about them

[email protected]

Oh! didn't know that, I thought activitypub can't be used for secure messaging. Lol really hope its XMPP!

Yeah I didn't take it that seriously when it was announced right now. Just hope pixelfed stays afloat amidst the user flood and hope he can publish loops as open source soon!

[email protected]

Have a look here: https://lemmy.wtf/post/15816115 and also check these links out for channels to follow: https://lemmy.wtf/post/15810205 / https://peertube.wtf/home

Damn. Yeah let's hope he can hire some help...
