     @dansup I might do the other apps, I might not. I actually don’t find myself using Pixiefed at all.

     @dansup I don’t think all those other apps are gonna replace anything (including this app and I don’t think rednote is gonna replace TikTok either) but they might be worth giving them a shot

     @dansup I pulled up YouTube for the first time (I was signed out of google too) on my work computer to watch one funny video at work, and this is what autoplayed immediately afterwards. I’m fully switching to peertube now. It’s turning into a hate platform like meta and Twitter.

     @dansup I recommend #DeltaChat as alternative to #WhatsApp, Delta Chat is decentralized, no phone number required etc.

     @dansup Never was on Xitter, but I'm here. Never been on "insta," or What'sApp, or TikTok. Debating leaving FB and not switching to anything. YT with ad blockers and a VPN for now.

     @dansup Long interesting discussion! Another idea, while we’re at it, might be to buy a Fairphone with /e/os and resist the temptation of installing the ‘wrong apps’. They also sell tablets. Reasonably locked down Linux on your computer and you’re set. Am I the only one who sees the irony of choosing ‘safe’ apps but still using the machines and os’ of the beast? :-). If you have to use them at work, wait till you get home to socialize online, or take your Fairphone on your pee break.

     @dansup apart from Mastodon and Signal i don't think other alternatives are as polished yet.

     @dansup Lemmy is the most usable one and the only I frequent daily out of the whole fediverse, even with the lower numbers in comparison, its consistent with it's growth and way more constructive than reddit

     @dansup @lisamelton i’m all for those wonderful platforms, and i know my comment is not for everyone, as different people should look for the safety they need where they can find it, but if we assume, and it’s difficult not to, that the issue that’s breaking out society is indeed that “us” & “them” are no longer reading or hearing the same news, and indeed no longer living the same reality and thus no longer able to talk, isn’t moving to separate platforms only going to make the problem larger?

     @dansup I have to say that I just really paid attention to the logos for Loops and Peertube and I think they’re brilliant. I have no idea if you intended for Loops to reference/riff Peertube’s design language, but it’s very good either way (Peertube evoking federation through the “play” triangle pointing in multiple directions while also itself being a “play” triangle; almost the same sized triangle in the negative space with the looping graphics for Loops).
