And (IMO) it's sooo annoying that everything is hidden behind a login screen. I usually don't signup, just to see what might be behind.
Here're open source Slack alternatives for public communities, no login screens: https://spectrum.chat https://spectrum.chat and https://www.talkyard.io https://www.talkyard.io (I'm developing it).
(Rocket Chat & Mattermost & Zulip are other alternatives, all require login to see what's there? )
- blocked_again 9y agoMany organization and companies don't want outsiders to see what is happening due to privacy and security issues. Anyway, there is a PR opened for Zulip which allows people to see the content of public streams without logging in. It's up to the administrators to decide which streams would be public to users which are not logged in. https://github.com/zulip/zulip/pull/8135 https://github.com/zulip/zulip/pull/8135
- KajMagnus 9y agoInteresting to know, thanks for mentioning :- ) B.t.w. I like Zulip's threads. A thought: What if Zulip, during installation, let the admin choose if things should be public or hidden-behind-login, by default? E.g. useful for open source projects
