Could the software selection be more diverse? There's also MBin/Piefed, and Misskey/Sharkey/Firefish/Akkoma/Iceshrimp. Just a suggestion tho. (obviously they can't all fit in the image, but it would be nice to see an alternative to popular software like lemmy/mastodon.)

PS: Signal is not federated at all, it's centralized. It should either be replaced with SimpleX or matrix/Jabber.

Not if you want people to actually consider switching instead of feeling overwhelmed and confused.

If only there was a website that helps you choose, instead of inclining users to just use lemmy and only lemmy.world anyway. (also with mastodon and mastodon.social).

Overall i think more software choices are great but you are right in that it could repel users :/

Signal is better than WA tho.
