Dansup of Pixelfed and Loops fame is working on an IM app called Sup. Info seems sparse on it though.

No pedals but how about the Hyper7 R4?

Joplin is more directly comparable. The apps are open source and it offers sync with all kinds of targets. It monetises through a source available sync server (i.e you can run your own but you arent allowed to run it commercially) hosted by Joplin (Joplin Cloud)

For transparency im directly involved with Joplin as a volunteer (less so in recent months admittedly) so yeah, im a bit biased.

I was a bit surprised to see Kath in a meme so came straight to the comments...

I get that, its basically just going back to the model we had before with Teamspeak/Mumble/Ventrilo where the image is meant to be specifically about Federated alternatives/

That seems a little extreme. I would maybe agree if 1) it wasn't being made by the guy who has already got an AGPL project in Pixelfed and 2) it was on open signups. Whilst software is invite-only or closed entirely I don't really see a problem in it not being open-sourced.

I think in recent years the lines have been blurred but I would say Matrix is more "Discord-like" because it is account-centric rather than phone-centric and is designed more around communities than 1:1 IM's to replace texting.

But Revolt isn't federated is it? It wouldn't fit here any more than signal.

The problem is the moment there is another instance then loops.video won't even make sense as that is just the name of the instance and not the application.

Yup, its just called Loops, there is a download link once you log in for the APK directly or to the iOS testflight. (On a related note why does everything keep like this picture keep calling it "Loops.video" when it is just called "Loops"? - we don't call it "Lemmy.ml", "Mastodon.social" or "Peertube.tv")

This was a rather long time ago, my gin and oude en jonge jenever collection has rather grown since then lol

I think so but I'm not American, I'm British
