Loops really seems like it sucks. You can't see how long any video is, there's no way to thumb down really bad videos, and about 80% of all the videos seem like "really bad videos". I never even used tik tok, but im sure it wasn't content similar or it never would have gotten popular.

loops is still very early in development. people need to tamper their expectations.

(momentary confusion as I wonder why I'd want to switch from the X Window System to Mastodon)

Unfortunately, I don't know a single person who uses Friendica, and that is also, unfortunately, self-defeating because there's no way I could convince them to go without more than just me using it.

Apparently it makes a good RSS feed aggregator if nothing else.

Try Matrix or XMPP instead of signal

This should promote matrix, not signal

Nice to see the rear of them, was tough making the call to disconnect from a bunch of people, but I've told them where to find me. Hopefully it snowballs!

Woo! Made one of first steps of switching today!

I’ve been on Signal for a while now. Have a bunch of groups but iMessage works with everyone.

It’s been a year and a half here on Lemmy. I still spend a lot of time on Reddit, but won’t comment there anymore.

I don’t WANT a Twitter replacement as it’s really only for celebs and idgaf.

I actually see enough value to pay for YT premium (kids complain incessantly about ads).

Friendica doesn’t seem to have an iOS app, and there’s a critical mass issue with wanting to connect with people that I know in real life.

I’m trying to get my Pixelfed feed to be with checking, and trying to be a regular poster, but it’s still REALLY sparse, and none of these offer the endless meme-video-clip scroll that my wife will have to have before switching away from Insta.

This is such a beautiful guide!

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?

Ok, downloaded peertube (because to hell with Google and YouTube) looked around... Um, is there not too much to look at right now? Are the people I normally watch on YouTube unable to be seen on peertube? Don't get me wrong, all about decentralized everything but if the people I like aren't there I'm feeling a bit up a creek.

Or, more likely, am I missing something? Forgive me, please, I am rather new to this concept and how to work the federations and such.

Anyone know if loops has a good app out, or if there's one in the works thats coming out soon?
