hopefully this will be a wakeup call for people to switch to irc, xmpp, jitsi or other foss alternatives/protocols.

I was briefly dual-carding as a member of UTAW, which is an affiliate of one of the largest unions in the UK.

Motherfuckers ran their comms on DISCORD 😭😭😭😭

The IWW has a minusule amount of money and resources by comparison but we at least have IT infrastructure. UTAW is a tech workers union and the best they could do was a discord server ffs.
