Signal is centralised and most certainly NOT part of the fediverse
-
this meme is sending the wrong signal

Yeah, this is more about getting away from the centralised / commercial / corporate / commodified / compromised / etc -verse.
What do we call that side of social media anyway?
It would be nice to have a term to sum it all up. Because for a lot of people it's just the water they're in - they don't think about it, because it's default/mainstream. They don't even consider that they have a choice.
Kind of like, but not really, how the term cis makes people confront that they have a label, even if they don't think about it.

Signal is not federated. Matrix or xmpp is the federated chat

Can I get any of these to bubble?

Pixelfed and Loops aren’t ready for migration. Account creation is still disabled and requires several messages to work around the beta splash page.
-
Pixelfed worked for me creating a new account.
Loops hasn't worked
But ymmv

-
Loops, huh? I'll check that out.
Oh wait.
"We're not accepting new users at this time."
-
It’s still in early stages of development.

It seems like they open up registrations in waves while it's still in development. Signups were open just a couple weeks ago, so I imagine they'll probably turn them back on again soon.

I love when I try to switch apps like this and instead of content I get explanations of some Fediverse bs on 10 screens and have to pick instances I know nothing about, wondering if I will have a bad experience with what I picked, so I just abandon ship
And when I manage to finish the process I get either something that's not working or a majorly inferior experience. Lemmy is the only thing I managed to stick with. Before good clients became available for it, it also wasn't looking good

Loops.Video is 'not accepting new users at this time'

Can you talk to your Facebook friends on Signal?
