XMPP

is the open standard for messaging and presence.
Pricing:
- Open Source
We currently have the Matrix protocol, with client applications such as Element supporting it. We also have XMPP as another option. Generally more modern than IRC, these platforms are primarily developed as FOSS software. This makes it less likely for developers to impact their users negatively. However, despite these advantages, these platforms lack the refined user experience (addictiveness and stickiness) that a venture-capital-funded attention economy surveillance capitalist development style can provide. As a result, they often struggle to attract a broader audience, including casual users and gamers. They mostly appeal to those who already appreciate FOSS for its principles, which limits their ability to achieve a critical mass or significant network effect.
