I'm no fan of Slack, but it has IRC and XMPP gateways. You can trivially set up an IRC bot that logs your channels & conversations, I connect to Slack via irssi

I'm no fan of Slack, but it has IRC and XMPP gateways. You can trivially set up an IRC bot that logs your channels & conversations, I connect to Slack via irssi & use its standard logging facility.
So you're no more likely to lose your logs via Slack than via IRC or XMPP if you set things up correctly.
- unimpressive 11y agoSo what you're saying is, Slack works great as long as you're willing to perform some 'uber geekery'? ;)
- aeze 11y agoI don't know if I'd consider that 'uber geekery'... it's just setting up an IRC client - they provide instructions on the slack website.
