   Sadly there aren't great FOSS alternatives. I've become more fedup with the Matrix developers. Their protocol really is garbage, and their reference server (Synapse) isn't great. They use fear to push people to buy their Enterprise Rust server.
   
   On top of all of that, even if you run your own home server, a TON of data (including e-mails) get sent constantly to their identity servers.
   
   I recently joined the Fedora space to ask some packaging questions and it took over 10 minutes to even load their space and search for rooms.

     @captainepoch Yeah, I agree re Slack (I wrote this: https://davelane.nz/notslack) - but, to be fair, Slack doesn't have that limitation if you're paying for it (a similar amount to what our gov't is paying MIcrosoft for MSO 365, probably). In any case, anyone paying either vendor is getting ripped off in more than one way.
