Do you know how to break the cycle? Use open-source software. Use standard protocols that aren't locked behind some greedy corporation.

Why not take the features from Discord/Slack and integrate it into a new IRC or Jabber protocol?

Technically, being open source or free ala GPL isn't enough. Protocols aren't enough.

You need a guarantee that you own your data.

A nice place to discuss rumors, happenings, innovations, and challenges in the technology sphere. We also welcome discussions on the intersections of technology and society. If it’s technological news or discussion of technology, it probably belongs here.

Remember the overriding ethos on Beehaw: Be(e) Nice. Each user you encounter here is a person, and should be treated with kindness (even if they’re wrong, or use a Linux distro you don’t like). Personal attacks will not be tolerated.
