@[email protected] thank you for the brilliant suggestion Juan! Woooow!!! Definitely βbrave enoughβ to try Beeper, LOL. And it was purchased by Automattic, which is a really good sign IMHO. I canβt thank you enough! Will try it ASAP
@[email protected] the whole point of Matrix is to be a free, open source, federated way of communicating, so you can use it on desktop (Mac, Windows, Linux), mobile and even from a browser: https://element.io/download
@[email protected] thank you! I've blocked time in my calendar to watch the keynote address from the conference (they're livestreaming on YouTube) this Friday morning. It's about Matrix 2.0: https://cfp.matrix.org/matrixconf2024/talk/WUGXFW/
@[email protected] ok so from what I'm seeing, Matrix has incredible integrations (bridges) with Slack, Discord, Whatsapp, Telegram, Signal, etc... so you may be able to communicate with your friends using these bridges https://matrix.org/ecosystem/bridges/ (disclaimer: it's my day 2 on Matrix and I'm not sure yet how to make a bridge work)
@[email protected] thank youuuu! π₯Ή I just wish other parents and grandparents would be more aware of the dangers / toxicity of digital platforms by Big Tech. Most people I talk to are resigned and say "there's nothing we can do, they're the standard, everybody uses them." I find that to be a weak argument and I'm ready to give all my support to healthy alternatives
@[email protected] Thanks! I found this super helpful explanation on Reddit (of all places):
"Matrix is a federated protocol like ActivityPub. A server running ActivityPub can theoretically be bridged to Matrix and vice versa (though I'm not aware of a fully functional and reliable bridge as of right now). So it's part of the Fediverse in terms of philosophy and potentially in terms of interoperability, but most people don't bridge between them at this time"

@[email protected] thank you for the kind words!
I'm doing this to get more friends on here. 99.9% of my real life close friends and family members only use social apps by Big Tech.
And I have a vested interest in having the Fediverse succeed because in a decade's time my little one will be a teenager. It would be upsetting to see her use toxic platforms by Big Tech. Her worth shouldn't be associated to the number of followers she has or likes she gets. I'd want her to use healthier social media...
Good morning Fedi Friends!
I hope you had a lovely weekend.
I'm working on a new blog post for #TheFutureIsFederated reflecting back on my "Fediverse summer".
Before I started the blog, I "only" had a #Mastodon account.
β© 3 months and I now have 8 accounts on the #Fediverse (incl. my federated #Wordpress sites).
I've become the biggest fan of the #Fediverse and #ActivityPub and I can't wait to share the biggest lessons I learned.

@msdropbear42 @peterg75 ah I only use Phanpy and mobile apps with Friendica to consume content (I.e. read my feed and reply to posts) but nothing matches the sophistication of the OG Friendica interface for formatting postsβ¦
