Beeper is owned by Automattic (of Wordpress fame). They’re a corp but I wouldn’t call them mega and they use matrix which is an open federated protocol.
You can run your own matrix server but tbh it’s easier for someone else to do it.
Not to mention the obvious advantages of their bridges into the closed networks of WhatsApp/fb/x/instagram etc
