Hope to see more open source projects migrate to something like this. It is crazy the amount of fundamental open source projects I see investing heavily in Slack and other paid services.
- mdaniel 6y agoOr, worse (IMHO) when they tie themselves to Slack but don't pay for it, thus having messages thrown into the trash I hold out high hopes that eventually Zulip will gain enough mental marketshare that folks will switch, since Zulip offers free hosting for open source projects, unlike ~~Slack~~ Salesforce with their bazilliontrillion dollars that they can't afford to spend to "sponsor" workspaces
- sgt 6y agoWe do this and see it as a benefit. If something is important enough not to take out of a chat, is it really that important? I have been hesitating paying for Slack because I feel the usage patterns of Slack will change if we do. I think power users of Slack tend to use email less, and that's precisely what I don't want. I want to continue using e-mail for more important things and keep chat as a non critical service.
- telesilla 6y agoA project I work on uses free slack and once a month exports the chat and saves them on github, ensuring the conversations are maintained in case we need to go back and review any critical decisions.
