They supposedly can be disabled in settings- but we all know that won't last. They're going full Microsoft Skype mode and it's only a matter of time.

I never stopped using irc (I know I'm old). There is matrix to irc connectors that are awesome. One of the benefits of open source is a lot of the protocols work well together.

    Can you recommend any IRC channels for techies please? I like infosec, Linux, and Mac topics but I can't find any communities that aren't turbo-clicky or dead. Most channels I've found are like ham radio: a bunch of old grumpy people ragchewing. I'd like an actual conversation I can contribute to.

    Not Rizon - Linux. I asked them a noob question and they banned me. Kind of irked me because I was just asking for help or opinion. I don't even remember what I asked.
