Noserver Enthusiasts Behind Quiet Make Microsoft Teams Go Brr

While corporations offer us clouds of centralized group messaging, real enthusiasts work relentlessly on decentralized constellations

When I’ve first heard about Discord, for no specific reason, I thought it was a decentralized messaging app.

To my surprise it occured it wasn’t and on the operational level it didn’t differ from what we had at that time. Of course Discord has its adventages, but it’s centralized, controlled by the service provider and offering some paid subscriptions lifting a little bit file size upload limit etc.

Personally I don’t have a problem with paying for software I use, but in 2023 I think we should already start getting back to the original concept of the Internet.

The concept that doesn’t involve corporations controlling our communication.

Every communication platform since Facebook prooved that communication shouldn’t be control by third parties. For several reasons.

Your Communication Is Their Value

For me, the most important, is that we own the right to our communication, and all centralized platforms hold people hostage. You can’t move your chats from Slack to Microsoft Teams and vice versa. Once you quit Slack, you loose everything. Not to mention you loose old communication already on the free plan.
