After some experimentation I am now able to confirm the installable packages of #slack are causing my #debian computer to lock up.
Feeling annoyed at slack right now, but glad I know what to uninstall to fix the problem.

Today has been a good day for discovering #OpenSource resources.
First, a fedizen turned me on to @radicle and I happen to be looking into various options for migrating off #GitHub . The resistance to #llm scraping is a bonus.
Thanks to #radicle , I got reacquainted with @zulip . It's not yet in my stable of community apps, and I have been hoping for an excuse to use it more regularly.
So far #zulip exceeds expectations as an upgrade from #Slack , IMHO.

Continued thread

#mattermost ist auch so ein schmerzhaftes Beispiel. Enthusiasten wie @xldrkp loten alle Möglichkeiten aus, auch für die Lehre. #Slack User finden Mattermost nicht adäquat und werben für die Slack-Channels (bis sich die Slack-Konditionen ändern). Der Rest kennt und will #teams.
Mattermost ändert die Konditionen und will Geld sehen. Wahrscheinlich waren alternative Finanzierungsmodelle nicht möglich.
Wir sehen uns bei Teams. (Lizenz- und Preisentwicklung offen)

My sense of time is so fucked I didn’t even question the first one beyond “I think we have canvases already? Maybe it was in beta or an A/B test until now though…” until the second one arrived! #slack

Vous en avez marre des limitations de la fonctionnalité de recherche de Slack ?

Connaissez-vous Framateam ? Basé sur le logiciel libre #Mattermost, cette plateforme de discussion est très similaire à #Slack.

En revanche, comme #Framateam est entièrement gratuit grâce à vos dons, nous ne limitons pas les fonctionnalités pour vous pousser à prendre un compte premium !

Votre organisation devrait apprécier ! 😉

Over the last six years, I've collected a lot of contacts in my Slack client, nicely collected in many groups so I knew who did who and who of a certain team was online. If you leave them under Direct Messages, they will be removed after a certain amount of time.

My account got disabled yesterday and finally enabled again late last night. I don't know why, but all my contacts were removed from the groups and put back back under Direct Messages.
