This question is especially for people who have joined in the last week. Have you used other fediverse platforms or is this your first time really using one? What do you think of it so far? Are you aware that you can comment on Lemmy posts with a Mastodon account?

    It’s just a protocol for sending data, depending on a client it could be a decentralised Discord (Cinny looks and feels very similar to Discord), WhatsApp, Google Hangouts, Guilded, Skype etc. Whilst most people use Matrix as alternative to Discord, you should know that it might be hard to get used to its flagship client, Element, because it doesn’t resemble Discord much

      Lol I don’t use discord much but I’d love to ditch WhatsApp. I just know people won’t use anything else

        Yeah, convincing people to install a single app that would help you both stay in touch and preserve privacy is unbelievably hard

          Yeah. The majority of people don’t give a fuck about their privacy lol. "I’ve got nothing to hide " isn’t the point
