Its best to use a protocol that doesn’t allow unencrypted messages

This is an implementation thing and not a protocol thing. What protocol doesn’t allow unencrypted messages? I am sure signal’s protocol would still allow it, it’s just that the implementation doesn’t.

And same for XMPP. Just go with the implementation that doesn’t.

Maybe because I’m not from an English speaking culture that I don’t see the far right stuff

People prefer centralization, and it makes sense. The Fediverse resolves most of the issues with decentralization, but so does centralization, which came way sooner, and arguably did it better.

Also, people seem to forget that Facebook was pretty cool back then. It had superior features, and was not the buggy mess it is today.

Unless you pay from the exchange’s wallet

Well I am speaking about users who may be picky about mastodon’s features. If someone is picky, I don’t imagine they’d care much about just finding a platform with their preferred features, similar to how they didn’t like mastodon and found bluesky instead.

The fediverse has many micro blogging implementations outside of mastodon if you don’t like their featureset (and they federate with each other, unlike bluesky). The only features I couldn’t find are those that contributed to making Twitter the dystopian toxic space that it is.

Is anyone here opposed to bringing more people? I’m upset that people are going to an unfederated platform like BlueSky. I wish more people to join, no matter who they are.

I haven’t been on mastodon much, but lemmy is quite diverse.

I preferred the Internet that isn’t driven by non-genuine posts by profit driven influencers. I am glad that those people don’t like mastodon so they don’t ruin another platform.

It’s not the best platform for the profit driven, and I much prefer it that way.

Oh no, now nostr is ruined

And you’d still have federation issues, so doesn’t solve OP’s problem.

Actually being able to self host and federate, and without any dependence on the main instance.

And ability to federate with other open and federated services, like how mastodon can federate with so many others like lemmy and pixelfed.

Sounds like clickbait

So what is the benefit for the common person, now?

I know someone who’s literally making that right now. Remind me in a week, I’ll send you the link. He’ll probably be done by then.

Edit: donetick.com

This makes matrix even less attractive to me lol. But you’re right, that’s a very good point.

iOS is fully proprietary, so while some might argue that it is more private, it is almost impossible to know. What we do know is that it isn’t private, and apple has a track record against privacy.

I think comparing the two platforms from a privacy perspective is pointless. You’re not going to be private either way. Might as well focus on other factors.
