has anyone tried Friendica? is it devoid of people?

This is such a beautiful guide!

PeerTube appears to be completely devoid of content

I find youtube to be the hardest one on this list

Why didn’t I hear about this until the day of?

Blasted out on my dead social media accounts. Except shitter, which I actually deleted lol

I support the cause in general but: Signal is not federated at all. It may seem like a decent alternative to WhatsApp but is it really? It still falls under the same US jurisdiction. Let’s say the US gov starts agressively prosecuting dissidents and certain minorities (they already do): can and should we still use signal in this case? I don’t think so. Sadly i can’t name a much better alternative. Maybe matrix. But it has other issues.

Mastodon ❌

Bluesky ✅

How is signal considered part of the fediverse?

Fediverse is awesome!!

Are any of these actually good?

I mean, aside from Lemmy. I tried Mastadon and no one was actually on it, seems like everyone is jumping to Bluesky.

Friendica seems like a new thing? No apps for that yet either

instead of switching ive mostly just been ditching entirely. I need less time interacting with internet people.

literally the only thing on this list im still using is facebook messenger, for my work colleagues. and youtube. everything else ive migrated (reddit-lemmy), or abandoned and torched

Or just go to rednote instead
