@shmibs They don’t because users control what they share with those irc or xmpp servers. It’s all voluntary.

SuperDicq (superdicq@cdrom.tokyo)'s status on Tuesday, 12-Jan-2021 00:14:17 JST SuperDicq @shmibs @hj @shpuld with specific network I mean for example a chat program that is only able to communicate with 1 server, like Facebook Messenger. While software that can communicate with any server such IRC or XMPP exists. -

That is true but this is also fixed by using free software. Software that relies on outside systems to function is not free software, it’s proprietary, see SaaSS.

But yeah of course you will never have control over what other people are able to save on the network, but you’ll have full control over what is being sent over the network in the first place.

Every issue people have with software is fixed when it becomes free.Security, privacy, monopolies, restrictions, censorship, piracy, etc.Literally every software issue people experience daily is fixed if the world switches to free software. -
