A lot of these are not ready for primetime, as much as I wish they were. Loops and pixelfed are barely functional as an app, friendica is clunky and confusing to use, peertube has almost no content, element is more of a discord replacement than messenger. I do think people need to switch, but to recommend a switch right now is a bit irresponsible, since it will just give people a bad impression of the fediverse.

Pixelfed has some wonderful third party apps. Like Impressia. They are definitely good enough.

I agree on loops.

Fluffychat works for matrix with a more signal vibe.

Yeah, I've been recommending Signal to people to get them off Messenger and WhatsApp.

Isn't Signal a better suited alternative to whatsapp? I think of element/matrix as more of a discord replacement

I’ve been using matrix/fluffychat as a texting replacement with my friends.

I really like the account switching and it seems to make more sense!

It can work fine. Fluffychat UI works great.

But I think signal is just more practical to get people to switch too, and also more secure than Matrix, because of manual encryption.
