Are the alternatives any better? For instance is discord protecting your chats?

Mattermost, IRC, etc.
IRC is great, but I've never thought of it as protecting my privacy. It's definitely public and almost always logged by a myriad of bots if not the server.
You can run your own server.
How are either of these more private than Slack? Whoever hosts the server can see whatever is on it.
