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.

What is suggested alternative?
-
probably matrix. it's decentralised, but not with the same protocol as the other things in the list. which makes sense, instant messaging is not social media.
-
My friends and family use Briar. It is without a question the most secure, most private option.
-
briar is great, but i don't think any of these services are really recommended for their privacy. rather, it's ease of switching. doesn't briar require in-person verification?

You can add at a distance. You can also "introduce" two contacts to each other. There's also forums and groups you can create or join.

IRC

But IRC is also centralized. You don't peer/chat between servers?
-
XMPP then
