There'd be nothing stopping you from running a private NNTP server.
I've had the opportunity to set up standards-based collaboration a
couple of times - use NNTP as a collaboration tool with private
newsgroups, Jabber for chat, SMTP/IMAP/LDAP for mail and directory
services and you had a platform-agnostic collaboration suite on par
with on-prem exchange - long before anyone had heard of Teams or
Slack.
