Signal is centralised and most certainly NOT part of the fediverse
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.
this meme is sending the wrong signal
What is suggested alternative?
IRC
But IRC is also centralized. You don't peer/chat between servers?
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.
