When I checked mattermost a year ago, the mattermost opensource edition had no basic permissions/access control. Any user could archive any channel. I have seen many teams fall into this "trap" only to find this basic restriction later. We since moved to Rocket.Chat. Is this still the case?

You can create private channels in MatterMost for as long as I can remember.

  But are there access controls other than private channels?

That restriction aside, how do you compare rocket chat to mattermost? Is it better?

I'm trying to push the agenda to switch our comms between developers fully to Keybase, but it will be probably rejected.

  Keybase is.. not ready for prime time. It's pretty janky, channel discovery is a pain as is spam, and it's still got that weird crypto half-baked nonsense.

    Team discovery could be a pain, but channel discovery within a team is pretty much everything I would expect it to be.

  Access control is intentionally missing from the open source "team" version: > Team Edition is "virtual office" where a team works together as trusted colleagues.

  But would Mattermost accept a PR that cuts into the differentiation on "advanced access control" of their enterprise product? https://mattermost.com/pricing/ https://mattermost.com/pricing/ Open source is only as powerful as the community's willingness to maintain a fork.
