@CalcProgrammer1 @diemunkiesdie That sounds dope! What's it called?

@nlm @Barbarian Yes, me and @sj_zero have been having lots of trouble getting #Kbin to federate properly

@artaxadepressedhorse @ZeroEcks #RevoltChat isn't distributed, it's centralized, but it does have #E2EE and you are allowed to self-host it as well.

@liaizon @technology That's pretty dope. I'll have to test that on my end!

@liaizon @technology I didn't know it was possible to post to #Lemmy communities from the #Fediverse, that's awesome!

@TheOneCurly I've been noticing massive #Kbin federation issues, even from the small instance that I'm on, kbin.projectsegfau.lt

@Nikokin @rysiek I haven't been able to get federation between #Kbin and #Lemmy to work, and I've been testing between two small instances, not the big overloaded ones.

@renlok What's the onboarding like for #Soapbox? It's been awhile since I've tried it.

@rustyspoon @dwindling7373 The games appeal to women enough to play them. Nobody is forcing women to play games they don't like.

@dirtmayor Now that's just stupid. And I generally like the guy.

@iraldir @httpjames I would have to disagree, because it's too expensive and the economy is bad. If it was affordable, people would gobble it up.

@legion Hmm. I would challenge anyone to go to mstdn.social for example and show me the onboarding friction.

Signing up for an account on a #Mastodon instance is quite easy, if you're doing so through the browser and go directly to the instance you want to join

@legion @TendieMaster69 Are you onboarding using the browser or using the official #Mastodon app? Onboarding online is a lot more understandable than onboarding in the app IIRC

@RandomBit That said if #Signal ever supports #RCS I'd strongly consider getting it, since half my siblings are on #RCS

@RandomBit I'm not aware of exactly what issues #Signal has, but I know it's centralized so I'm not a big fan of that

@EonNShadow @TheRtRevKaiser I agree, but I think that the #VisionAir will still be expensive. If it's $1.5k we should be happy, anything cheaper and it'll probably be crap tbh

@RandomBit @jmcs I prefer #Matrix.

I don't find #Signal or #Telegram (which is worse, it's basically a honeypot) to be particularly secure, but I don't see anything other than something like those platforms catching on with the masses as a sort of #USA-centric #Whatsapp-style replacement for text messaging.

Both #Apple and #Google need to come up with a consensus on the successor for #MMS, or else I could see another platform or app replacing both.

@WatTyler @Sailor_jets #Reddit used to be #FOSS years ago, and there's an archived version of their code here:

https://github.com/reddit-archive/reddit

IDK if anybody's actually using it to host a forum site though.

@OneRedFox @amki Yep. There's #Kbin and #Lotide.

@DidacticDumbass @arthur Right on! Picking the right instance is everything.
