@metin Thanks for the Fediverse graphic! I had never heard of PeerTube, but I've been looking for an alternative to going back to YouTube!

@metin I've shared this with friends and people are saying they had no idea there were alternatives!

This graphic is really useful!

Funny that you recommend #signal (which is not federated) instead of #xmpp which is.the federated chat standard…

I see only two replies there and that doesn't change that signal is a centralized service which is the opposite of a federated service…

@martin @lashman There are many more replies, forming an interesting discussion about which messengers are decentralized or not. I guess your server has blocked some domains.

By the way, I did not make the infographic, only shared it, and I have little knowledge of messenger details. 🙂

Weird, seems my AP client doesn't show all replies… 🙄

@martin @lashman 🫤 Maybe you can see all replies in the Web client, logged out if necessary, so no instances are blocked?

@metin Important to note: Signal is NOT part of the fediverse, and in fact its creator makes a point to make it hard or outright forbid implementing any kind of decentralization.

@VeniaSilente Check the replies to the post. 🙂
