   Ouch. A large OpenStreetMap group has been using a proprietary chat platform as a community space for ~10 yrs. Now they gotta pay a $80k/yr (or $10k??) for usage. 🤯😱😢

   Slack (now Salesforce) now wants to charge @OpenStreetMapUS for all ~6k users on their server. 😢😢 Ouch.

   This sort of bait & switch is why open, community owned platforms (like this!) are vital!

   read more on the slack (while you still can??!): https://osmus.slack.com/archives/C029HV951/p1705438543546349
