So Campsite got acqui-hired by Notion, tells their customers in a blog [1] something along the lines: "Thanks for all the fish, you've got 2 months to migrate to something else.".
They could have open sourced it in a way which would have allowed customers to atleast maintain their own install. But instead they release it under a license which says "non-commercial". So even if you were to export your own data you can't even self-host it.
It seems to me rug pulls such as these are bad for the entire industry. Why would you invest in these kind of products if there is real chance you'll get rug-pulled?

- cwbuilds 2y agoIs there an 'open source Slack' type thing anywhere? This is the closest I've found- https://mattermost.com/ https://mattermost.com/
- srid 2y agoIf you are willing to explore a hybrid model of chat, there is Zulip: https://github.com/zulip/zulip https://github.com/zulip/zulip
- ensignavenger 2y agoZulip is another one, mentioned in a sibling comment. Matrix/Element is used by some companies. Nextcloud Chat exists, but I don't know much about it.
- Ruthalas 2y agoI think the Nextcloud offering is called "Nextcloud Talk", for anyone wanting to check that out.
- ensignavenger 2y agoOh yeah, you are right... my bad :)
- ok_dad 2y agoIRC probably. It doesn’t have every feature slack has though.
- elkos 2y agoI'm really happy with Matrix chat. But it's more of a protocol than a sole implementation. The good people at Element are pretty neat too.
