Matrix - distributed group messaging
Lemmy - distributed discussion communities
Bluesky - microblogging
Pixelfed - Photos
SimpleX - private messaging
If you have not tried these, check them out!
Bluesky shouldn’t be included yet. Not till they make good on promises.
and with the fact you have to verify in the UK....nah I'm glad I deleted my bsky account.
As much as i agree, i think its important for apps like CoMaps to be visible on "mainstream" platforms too, so that the people who have yet to discover the wonderful world of opensauce can find out about these apps☺️
Fair enough. But we can’t forget Bluesky is using open source and federation as tools to attract users. And we need to hold them to their promises.
'til ?
Till is a word, it's been in use longer than until, and I will die on this hill. Why bother using a special character to make it a contraction when you can just double type l and be more grammatically correct?
Ohh, I ess so.
