My research group still uses Slack, which is not only USAian, but also has a terrible free version and expensive subscription.
I am confident there is will to switch, but the inconvenience of learning a new platform prevents the team as a whole. What would be good alternatives that would make an easy transition period?
https://prose.org/ looks great, it even uses a standardised protocol. I’ve tried it and it works well, much better than Rocket.Chat, Zulip or Mattermost.
