This reminds me of the discussion we had when Mozilla decided to switch from irc to slack. The reasoning behind it was to reduce barriers to accessibility. Sadly we can't disagree with that. irc is great but there isn't enough money spent on making it usable to the degree it needs to be. So instead we switch to a proprietary centralized solution. Personally I think this is an issue with organizations such as the the free software foundation. They should have started a decade ago with helping people/foundations to develop free decentralized software that works. Or as another "logically decentralized" example, the linux desktop which is an absolute dumpster fire that is only ever going to be used by one percent of users (see linustechtips video series). Anyway, people are moving their companies to only use facebook messenger because it just works and security/privacy in the big picture simply doesn't matter enough to the masses. Do companies go out of business because of data breaches? Not very often. I mean we are still using email via smtp aren't we? Somehow pgp didn't catch on lol. The only reason we are still using email is because it's irrelevant due to the fact that it was centralized by the big two providers for profit. We put some bandages on it, dkim, etc but that's about it. The same is happening with dns by google, etc, again for power and profit.
