If Slack would increase price too much or go rogue with unbereable ToS terms, how screwed would your company be today?

Mattermost.

Zulip seems to be preferred, as Mattermost is twiddling towards enshittification, which I was not aware of when I made the comment above.

We've got a license for Teams that we don't use.

Thinking about the same. Anyone experiences with Zulip vs Matrix/Element? Both seem to be the only true and mature foss solutions Dabbled with both a bit and so far felt that Zulip is a bit more polished and communication friendly. Use case is for a small startup (around 10 people and growing). Thoughts?

I just lived Politehub, it could be an alternative for Slack, kindly give it a try, guys!

IMO Zulip is better than matrix in every way. But I haven't used matrix in a few years now.
