I think this highlights the precarious situation most people find themselves in today when it comes to communication channels and data that is being stored in the cloud. We tend to assume that we have rights and that wrongs will eventually be righted. But in practical reality this isn't necessarily true. Speaking of which, are there any open source alternatives to Slack which anyone could recommend?

Zulip chat is open source, free, can be self hosted and there is no limit on the number of chat messages. Zulip even has a usable mobile client and a healthy user community. Their support is excellent. Also Zulip has proper threading of messages to avoid notification fatigue. Much better workflow even it's otherwise almost identical in terms of features. There is also matrix (riot.im) which is fully decentralized though the UX still needs a lot of work last time I checked.
