If you could only keep one, which would it be... ??? 🤔 #fediverse #matrix #poll 🗳️
@matt@oslo.town i guess the result might get a bit biased when asking them on the fediverse
@matt@oslo.town i guess, its gonna be matrix. a lot of people on fedi use matrix
@izaya XMPP is disqualified for being too geeky.
@matt You make it rather easy
@katnjiapus Well, idk. Encrypted messengers are pretty nice.
@matt you didn't include XMPP
@katnjiapus XMPP is for geeks and gets disqualified on the name alone.
@matt ... Matrix is equally as geeky, bud.
@katnjiapus You're right. But at least I can say Matrix without getting confused what letters are in there. Haha
@matt - Once upon a time it was called "Jabber". It was the communication protocol that was called XMPP back then but became the name of the entire system when becoming an international standard.
Similarly the Fediverse is powered by the ActivityPub protocol.
@matt Do I _have_ to keep one?
@not_on_pizza Hmm, no. Just throw them all in the sea. 🌊
@matt M-DON. ofcourse =]
@matt Im not going to vote as to not skew things, but Mastodon is my only social media presence.
I voted the obvious discard on lieue of a spiderman option
@matt Jabber 🔥
@kaip Jabber isn’t real 🦄
@matt Then what have I been using? 🤔
@kaip Good question 🔮
@matt I’m one of the 11 people who voted for Twitter but that’s simply because I have been there for years and I’ve made a lot more connections over there than I’ve done over here, not necessarily because I like the experience of Twitter as a platform.
@aletzi Yeah. Very understandable. I threw Discord in there because I thought people might find it more… fun (?) than other platforms because that’s where they have their people.
Personally, I like that I can read and see a lot of stuff on Twitter that I can’t on Mastodon. It just seems the bar for interactions is higher.
I can post the same thing on Mastodon and Twitter and I get replies from people here. Not even my followers reply so frequently on Twitter. 😅
Ooops. I probably should have tagged the initial poll post with #discord and #twitter too
