    There’s a catch. Companies that have made a switch are still in the minority. We can enjoy the working systems and yet there will be no communication with quite many organisations.

      The most annoying part is, that we get looked at, as if we’re nuts.

      Using OpenTalk, mailbox.org, BigBlueButton, … so many good alternatives, but to co-workes, they don’t feel right, so they must be cheap and useless. I had so many discussions, which alle came down to " but everyone uses it".

        Thanks for highlighting this. I also hear similar arguments. Something like “if nobody is using these alternatives, then why make a switch from the secure and blah bleh blah big tech giant?”. It’s annyoing for sure. Also, some could migrate to Proton, some to mailbox etc. The diversity would be potentially beneficial.

          Yea. The standard and compatibility should lay in common formats and protocols, not in choosing the same provider.
