Any messaging service or video platform that isnt owned by a large media company?

This

discord

telegram

if you want absolute privacy, use the russian app called XMPP (Xabber)

Discord and Telegram are a privacy joke. As for the Russian app, nothing is private under the Russian Government, since the [key disclosure law] applies strongly there. You can use Kontalk, or Signal (although Signal may not be as privacy-oriented as it used to be). @Linuxxx is far more knowledgeable than me though, he'd have a more definitive answer.

(Wire has been getting a lot of shit, but nothing proves that's it's actually not private. Choice is yours anyways).

@inaba I like you username. Reminds me of a video game.

@TheOct0 Usually not the first thing people think of when they think of my username :v

@inaba Well it's the Japanese town where this game takes place :)

@TheOct0 That's the closes to guessing how I got my username anyone has ever gotten :v

@inaba Well, Inaba is a Japanese town, and Persona 4 takes place in it :)

I love this game by the way, hence why I like your usename so much :)

@TheOct0 @SukMikeHok Telegram isn't owned by a large media corporation but it's insecure and a privacy nightmare while it advertises as secure and privacy friendly and I find that combination dangerous.
