Strikes me as a poor future when we use proprietary protocols on other peoples' servers to facilitate all of our communications.



That's been the present for the majority of most people's lives. Even with email there wasn't much, if any, time where the majority of people ran their own servers.


Email wasn't a proprietary protocol though. Xmpp wasn't a proprietary either and that 'present' wasn't that long ago.


That's why I mentioned running your own server.
