Apparently, you have the option to self host your web service
Beeper hosts a Matrix account and bridges for you so yes, it's possible to replicate that. their bridges are open source, too.

it looks like I accidentally missed the word "addons". you're right about the sync capability though.
even if Firefox Nightly was available on iOS, it doesn't mean you'd be able to install any additional addons. iOS doesn't allow browsers to use their own engine, so you can't install any Firefox addons on iOS, period.
That means Apple, Signal, WhatsApp, and a whole bunch of other services will have to interoperate by law
I don't think Signal is big enough to be included in the requirement. and in addition to that, while the premise is pretty great I'm not that enthusiastic about Whatsapp being able to mine metadata from my conversations as a Signal user :/
Choosing a server to join seems unnecessarily difficult. At the top of the list is firefish.social marked as verified but when you click or tap to find out more you are presented with a coming soon page (not seen one of those since the 90s when everything was Under Construction).
they're probably working on moving calckey.social server to the new domain, along with its users.
The choice of servers seems limited with a need for more general servers.
so... you've got 22 other servers categorized as "general" to choose from, and you want more of them, but at the same time you find choosing a server to be "unnecessarily difficult"?
a Mi Band storing everything offline with Gadgetbridge, because I don't need Xiaomi to know how many steps I've made and what's my heartbeat at a given moment.
it would probably help if you posted a full name of the game you're talking about, instead of assuming that everyone knows what you're referring to.
they've been pretty clear in the past about their lack of interest in decentralisation.
if you want to see what a federated (although separate from the Fediverse), private messenger looks like, try Matrix.
I'd put it below Whatsapp, which encrypts all messages end-to-end by default (but still mines metadata), while Telegram requires you to specifically start a secure chat for that, which doesn't even work for groups.
you know there's a save button, right? it's the little star under each post and comment.
well, you could use an existing Matrix client, like Element. some people already manage their messaging that way.
