I&amp;#x27;m not demanding a response, it&amp;#x27;s just a wish.&lt;p&gt;My decision to use a product takes certain principles into account; Slack is the kind of product that is often chosen for you by your company&amp;#x2F;open source project&amp;#x2F;community. A bit of &amp;quot;entitlement&amp;quot; — not meant as scare quotes, I just don&amp;#x27;t share the viewpoint  – makes sense here, because sometimes you can&amp;#x27;t just choose not to use it.</text><parent_chain><item><author>mful</author><text>I&amp;#x27;m getting a little sick of the level of entitlement in tech conversations — every firm must adhere perfectly to some set ideals or else the most vocal members in the community turn the conversation into an end-of-the-internet melodrama.&lt;p&gt;We laud companies that start by doing something small well, yet the second they don&amp;#x27;t support our platform of choice, it&amp;#x27;s time to banish them to the hills.

If we let little monocultures exist they grow into big monocultures (Windows &amp;quot;monopoly&amp;quot;, Facebook &amp;quot;monopoly&amp;quot; etc).  I put &amp;quot;monopoly&amp;quot; in scare quotes because they had the de facto high ground rather than being monopolies in the Standard Oil sense.</text><parent_chain><item><author>mful</author><text>I&amp;#x27;m getting a little sick of the level of entitlement in tech conversations — every firm must adhere perfectly to some set ideals or else the most vocal members in the community turn the conversation into an end-of-the-internet melodrama.&lt;p&gt;We laud companies that start by doing something small well, yet the second they don&amp;#x27;t support our platform of choice, it&amp;#x27;s time to banish them to the hills.
