    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?

      Has anybody tried Revolt? It looks really cool. Like a proper open source alternative to Discord. But I never had the opportunity to try it with anyone, so I don’t know.

        Interesting, the name sounds familiar, it’s not based on Matrix and they’re planning encrypted messages. Oh, you can self-host it!

      Mumble hasn’t fed any of my data to a megacorp!

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

      You need a guarantee that you own your data.
