We're not going to have a one and done chat/social program and know what, it should be that way. We shouldn't allow another one to become a behemoth that then turns into a perfect honeypot.

There are federated alternatives like Movim that would eliminate the chance of that happening, just like Lemmy/Piefed do. It also offers proper E2EE.

It's missing a couple features compared to Discord, but the dev is actively working on fixing that. And since it's also GPL licensed, it can never be co-opted by corpos.

Movim looks quite cool, thanks for sharing it!

Preventing segmentation or centralization? Apologize, it's early and I'm bleary eyed.

Preventing it from becoming a centralized honey pot.

Thank ya. I suspect we'll see a big swing of people leaving come March.
