Is Discord any better? It's still a centralized service run by one company, is it not?

  My choices in communication technology are based on what myself, my friends, and my colleagues find easy, intuitive, and accessible. That it's a centralized service has no bearing on 99.999% of the reality I share with the people close to me.

  Can't speak for Slack, but Discord is a fully walled garden, and they make sure to control how content on the platform is consumed. You can't automate your own account in any way without risking a ban due to breach of ToS (see "self-bots"). This makes it impossible, for example, to get local chat logs (as the official client doesn't support it).
