we're looking for a self-hosted alternative. tried hipchat, and it was worse than slack in the areas you mentioned. mattermost has been a ray of sunshine, so far, relatively speaking. still testing it out, but they are super responsive to their users and community, between github, their forum, their pre-release server (https://pre-release.mattermost.com/core https://pre-release.mattermost.com/core
), etc... they also seem to be aggressively adding new features and fixing bugs.
I realize I probably sound like a shill, but it just has been that much of a positive experience so far.

I went to share this on LinkedIn: * What Slack might learn from its Open Source alternative | Mattermost || https://www.mattermost.org/what-slack-might-learn-from-its-open-source-alternative/ https://www.mattermost.org/what-slack-might-learn-from-its-o... And I see this: http://imgur.com/a/evVZF http://imgur.com/a/evVZF You're using WordPress so you can check out: * Yoast SEO — WordPress Plugins || https://wordpress.org/plugins/wordpress-seo/ https://wordpress.org/plugins/wordpress-seo/ This will add the right meta tags to make the thumbnail and image and description show up through shares with minimal effort on the part of the content creator.
