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.

It’s often not the cost of the software, but the hosting costs, especially on a growing platform.
platforms can be peer to peer too, with maybe a smaller tracker. i think its viable for a chat, as an example.
I think it’s why many decentralised platforms don’t want very big instances, and prefer them to split off into smaller federated sites.
