I'm surprised Mattermost doesn't get more love generally, it's fully oss isn't it? https://github.com/mattermost/mattermost

I don’t know how Teams even got the approval to be released. It must be so embarrassing to be Satya and be forced to use this shitty piece of software.

I can’t believe that software of this quality is used so widely. Market competitive forces are not able to do their thing unfortunately.

Why can’t a company in the EU make a secure video/voice chat app?

There’s are EU companies that make teams alternatives:

Even if those don’t work SAP, Dassault, etc… make massively complex software and services across multiple verticals and could trivially ship a competitor

Why reinvent the wheel when there are already open standards like Matrix or XMPP that can be adapted to your use case?

Matrix isn’t a 1:1 replacement for teams

What makes you think they can't?

Microsoft's corporate edge isn't merely the product, it's also an army of sales, entrenched corporate markets/clients, lock-in, etc.

You could have a better version of their product and still get eaten alive.

If they can't pass chat control- Simply adopt something full of holes but seems reasonable.

I think the intention was never to get their communication audited (potentially via poor security), but ours. You know, to protect the children and all that.
