  ...and campfire, a one time fee slack alternative. Are people allowed to change their views?

    It just doesn't have much weight when the overwhelming bulk of their revenue comes from subscription services. It's cool that they're experimenting with this, I guess, but it doesn't exactly instill faith that the pricing model is sustainable. It's like how Google can afford to offer a bunch of free services because of the bazillions of ad dollars subsidizing everything.

    Does anybody use it? There was a lot of hype on Twitter when it first came out and I haven't heard a single thing since then. Who wants to install that on a VPS and be responsible when it goes down when they could just use a Discord server or Slack?

      This definitely depends on the use-case. But not having to rely on a foreign service and owning your data is huge for many people. Additionally slack is super expensive for a paid tenant that does not delete your chat history. And some day in the future Discord will surely enshittify their free options too.
