I feel obligated to extoll enormous praise on Zulip. I was the person who forced us to try it for a week (so, take a pinch of salt), and people were apprehensive, but I floated the idea of going back to slack recently and was met with open hostility due to how nice Zulip is to use. It even exceeded my expectations, having only used it briefly with the rust community prior to the trial; basing the trial solely on others on hackernews extolling similar praise to me now. The thread first model is really great for finding information, the search works decently and integrating with random things is much nicer than with Slack. its not all sunlit uplands, the UX feels a bit weird sometimes (there is a strong keyboard shortcut system for power users but you can be in the wrong context to use the common hotkeys with no visual indicator) and the mobile app is mediocre at best. Additionally; a few business people have referred to it as a “nerd tool” and do not put any effort at all into getting over the relatively minor learning curve, but I also believe that they wouldn't truly engage with slack either. But holistically: its a fantastic system and is a much better use of inefficiencies of electron based messenger clients. Jitsi is also extremely nice by the way and the pair of Jitsi and Zulip is extremely nice.
