@LightningToaster Yeah I see that.... that's probably not a good sign

@LightningToaster @hyc A quick search for "signal apk" brought me here... https://signal.org/android/apk/

It even includes the fingerprint hash which you can verify with AppVerifier

@hyc Just a heads up, apparently the official F-droid app has some security issues and isn't recommended. I've used Neo-Store and @droidify Also as @LightningToaster mentioned, you'll need to add the @guardianproject repo in the settings to get Signal to show up

@LightningToaster That would make sense I think I have the F-droid version

@pwm Looks interesting, I don't think I've heard of Deltachat before. By far the biggest issue with new messaging apps is you have to get everyone you're talking to to switch too and I just got most of them to get Signal so I don't think I'm going to be able to get them to switch again lol

@hyc I've used it just fine on a De-Googled Pixel running GrapheneOS without G Play Services. Might be something specific with Huawei, but I have no clue

@pwm It's not; that's why there's an asterisk by it with a note at the bottom.
I'm guessing he added it as there's not really a federated messaging platform at the level of WhatsApp yet.

@chrismerkel Fair enough, and that's one of the other biggest issues with Peertube at the moment. But my understanding is, for many YouTube creators anyway, Ad revenue is a pretty small fraction of their income. Obviously I can't say much on that for Alec specifically.

Also the viewership is so low, I doubt it would even make much of a difference at the moment. Obviously that could change in the future but he could always stop uploading to Peertube, or find some other monetization strategy.

@adlerweb I don't know much about that from a creator POV, but MakerTube and TILVids seem to be decent? Like @janeq said though, the most sustainable instance will always be the selfhosted one.

@TechConnectify Haven't watched the video yet, but have you ever considered uploading your videos to #peertube? I think if anyone has an audience that would carry over pretty well to Peertube it's you. And one of the biggest issues with Peertube at the moment is a lack of high quality content and creators.
