They supposedly can be disabled in settings- but we all know that won’t last. They’re going full Microsoft Skype mode and it’s only a matter of time.

    Yeah, functionally it’s much more similar to Discord. It’s a shame it isn’t federated.

      What does being federated give it?

        It means users aren’t dependant on a centralized service provided by the developers themselves.

          That doesn’t really answer the question since anything that is self-hostable already meets your criteria even if it’s not federated.

            It’s a communication platform. People are forced to use the same host if they want to communicate on a non-federated platform.
