I firmly believe that if a government can keep secrets, there is no real democracy.
And if tech companies stopped having control over social media with their recommendation algorithms the current culture war would just simply go away. You know, because people might actually just be able to get along if they are not getting gaslit by the constant stream of ragebait cherrypicked bullshit into their doom rectangle 24 hours a day.
And currently almost all of the world's biggest corporations are tech companies. The only real power tech companies have over us is a monopoly enforced by copyright and patent law. As soon as we take this away from them they will be out of business within months, because now we can just take their monopoly away and run it ourselves, decentralized.
And if we actually shared innovations (like software code!) there would be little reason for countries to start doing protectionism, which in turn reduces international conflicts, promotes globalization and that reduces the chances of all out war.
Just simply name any current political issue and I can probably explain to you why it is caused by proprietary software.

Our entire water system is fully democratized and our regional water boards have their own elections.
I'm not joking but we actually have 4 types of political elections in the Netherlands and they are: national, provincial, municipal and water board.

They aren't alternative because I can talk to girls on Telegram and I can't talk to girls on XMPP. Therefore, if I want to avoid women as much as possible, XMPP is the only option.

From Matrix to Facebook Messenger and Telegram.
There are three massive issues:
1. Servers implement incompatible sets of XEPs and often fail to federate some stuff;
2. Clients are shit (especially when it comes to OMEME'o);
3. Lack of expected features like normal filesharing.
Every now and then I encounter a thread on fedi where someone whines that certain combinations of clients cannot talk to each other with OMEMO and this is funny as hell.

Matrix is the only one that I consider an actual alternative to XMPP.

If you mean that Signal is centralized, run by Shithub, or otherwise run by sus corpos greedier than the entire Fortune 500 list, I can see how it can be proprietary (or as bad as proprietary).

It also means that your source code needs to be up to date with the current version that your running and it must be free of binary blobs and nonfree dependencies and libraries.
For example Signal is not available in Fdroid because it does not comply with many of the Fdroid inclusion guidelines (which are already quite lax in my opinion).
