@asklemmy What do you think it would take for people to drop Twitter & Reddit and move to the Fediverse?

      Currently no, but protocols and things are being worked on including one by the PixelFed creator called Sup!. Maybe one day we will have a good messaging system between the fediverse.

      The easiest thing to use what isn’t decentralised but is secure would be Signal for the moment. Especially as they rolled out usernames instead of using your phone number

        Oh yeah I’ve been on signal for ages now. Relatively easy to get people on that though because the UI is so familiar

            I’ve had basically no resistance with signal. The selling point being WhatsApp but without Facebook spying tends to work fairly well

            Nobody wants to be spied on, the only issue is most people also can’t be bothered to learn a new app
