Proceeds to migrate to yet another proprietary and centralized piece of software, again.
It happens again, again.
Clown moment.
It’s what’s going to happen. It’s what always happens. And on a side note, by the way, I guaran-fucking-tee you that it’s what’s going to eventually happen with Discord as well. I have zero doubt about it.

I’m surprised that Slack beat Discord to it.

That’s the nature of public shit posting.

Do you know how to break the cycle? Use open-source software. Use standard protocols that aren’t locked behind some greedy corporation.
Why not take the features from Discord/Slack and integrate it into a new IRC or Jabber protocol?
