Happy #GlobalSwitchDay

I doubt I can successfully persuade 100+ people to migrate to signal just because of my political crusade.
Don't know till you try! And if you're playing the long game, you don't need to convince 100+ people -- the more individuals that join, the easier it will become to convince everyone else to make the switch too.
In this specific case, like my kids soccer or swimming team, I would need to convince 15 childrens parents, so 30 people (or more) to switch.
On top of that, the soccer club has more teams, and since soccer practice is scheduled by the club, the club itself would need to switch their ways of working, and that’s where it gets tough.
Facebook, for better or for worse, offers a free platform with a built in blog, instant messenger, calendar, reminders, and an easy way to send messages to all relevant people.
Signal only solves one or two of those problems, meaning they would have to find alternatives for the rest, and I for one don’t miss the time when everybody used some variant of a shared calendar (ie Google calendar) to schedule, and you’d be subscribe to 10+ calendars with notifications going off left and right.

Great graphic! The only things I use on this list are reddit and youtube. Trying peertube now. I'm confused about whatsapp and facebook messenger - don't people just use the texting app that comes with their phone?
You can't text abroad for free. I guess texting is fine if you only communicate within the country.

Any chance you're American?

Yes but I also don't much GAF about my phone. I only use it for calls and texting and as a camera. Can't enjoy games or videos on such a small device, let alone writing code, so I mostly ignore it.

Well, not what I was pointing at. It's pretty much an American thing to just use the preinstalled messaging app and pretend there are no others, that's why the whole blue bubble / green bubble drama is pretty much exclusive to the US.

Pretty sure you don't pay (aka they are included) for SMS in most (and everywhere within) Europe (except Switzerland ofc...).
Yeah, that's why I asked if they're from the global south. Because most of the world do have to pay for SMS.

Why do you think so?
So far I'm getting much more interaction on Mastodon than Bluesky
-
Does it have categorization like eBay?
sorry, I don't know what that's like, and also haven't used this
-
they don't have it on the new app yet, and it's not super intuitive to begin with compared to signal or whatsapp
the new app is quite pre-release like still. there is also still no new app for the web (and desktop), or is there?
-
Cool. What’s your instance?
And yes, it is a catch-22 or a “chicken before the egg” issue, but I’m confident we will see even more content creators on PeerTube in the future.
(sorry for the late reply)

I've never downloaded anything from GitHub before. How does it work? Do I need to manually update the app when a new version comes out?
We have Obtainium for that. Install it from the universal apk on their site, then add
https://github.com/joinloops/loops-app/releasesas a source and Obtainium will handle the updates for you. -

Bluesky isn't part of the Fediverse, it uses the AT protocol, not ActivityPub or the likes of it.
