Hey, just wanted to say that I am a happy Zulip customer.
I used it at my previous employer and after a month of hangringing from people- many did not desire to go back to what we had before. (though some people did say they wanted Slack for the emojis and “prettiness”).
Now I started in a new position and I’ve positioned Zulip (on prem) as the only viable solution since we’re shirking SaaS as a strategic move.
The people who followed me to the new place are quite glad of this, or at least thats what I am told.
So, thank you, sincerely.

- crabmusket 9mo ago> like twisting your hand until you agree I'm also gonna be that guy - hand wringing is a stereotype of an expression of distress, not coercion. You're thinking of the idiom "twisting someone's arm".

- dijit 9mo agoHey man, don't be sorry! I actually didn't know so this was a good correction! :) I think you got flagged for the "incorrect" definition, but I think you were being playful with a mnemonic to remember it- so that's not fair.
