I want to see a enterprise-ready replacement for Slack. Teams is bad -- too many feature differences, rollout is inconsistent, quality is usually bad. Slack is great at what it does, but their support sometimes mystifies. What are people using today for technical communication besides Matrix (too cumbersome) and IRC (last line of defense)?

rocket.chat -- FOSS, based on Matrix, but more Slack-like

  rocket.chat is not based on matrix. It does have some bridging to matrix built in, but that is very different from it being a matrix client/server. See here: https://matrix.org/blog/2022/05/30/welcoming-rocket-chat-to-matrix https://matrix.org/blog/2022/05/30/welcoming-rocket-chat-to-...

Mattermost is what my company uses. It can be self-hosted on-site, configured to keep an auditable log of changes and conversations, and many of its features that are not compliance-friendly can be turned off.

  I use both for different spheres of communication. I like Mattermost more than rocket chat, as a user, an admin, and for the Mobile notifications Mattermost still does and rocket chat doesn't.

I worked in a game company that used discord. I much prefer it to slack.

  Besides being less buggy, how is discord better for tech comms?

  (now that our trust has been betrayed) Is Discord structured in a way that would prevent them ransoming all your stuff years into a project like this?

I've been using Slack to support my teaching, so I will probably go back to piazza. No custom gif emojis, and you have to put up with the recruiting, but it basically works.
