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

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

Yes but it is still better than SMS.

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"?

No, Matrix is federated differently.

No, that's anti-libre software.

Loops is anti-libre software.

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

Is there an app for Loops.video?

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

I have downloaded the APK, but I think there is also a testflight for iOS -

TeamSpeak is doing an overhaul to be similar to Discord. You can self host.

There benefit would be exactly what this top comment is about. For all those people in your contacts who don't use signal, you could still use signal to message them, it would just be an SMS message. It would therefore also become more enticing for people to switch from their stock SMS app to signal, because it would make no difference in terms of who you can send SMS messages to. It would allow for the signal user base to grow, solving the issue of "no one uses signal"
