Is there anything the community here can recommend besides Slack?



I haven't tried it, but Element is a Free and Open Source alternative.

I failed installing the server a few weeks ago.

Got tangled up somewhere and didn't know where I was the next day. Maybe I'll try it again if Mattermost doesn't do it.


Mattermost is a fairly good open source alternative.


Ah yes, I've heard about that one before.

I'll check that out. Thank you.


Mattermost seems pretty to-the-point. Really not getting what's so hard about chat with some basic formatting.


For purely text chat, at a previous company we used Zulip. I still think that is the best implementation of 'topics' (like threads in slack).


I'm a big fan of Mattermost.
