Description

"When commons stewardship organisations like CreativeCommons (and open source projects) started to use it in place of IRC, Slack was justified on the basis that people didn't have to use the proprietary (and awful) Slack client. Instead they could use their choice of IRC or XMPP client. That allowed Slack to enclose organisations that otherwise never have gone there, and now that IRC and XMPP has been removed from Slack, they're locked in, because Slack has their chat history. A classic bait-and-switch tactic. This page is about free code software your team could use in place of Slack. Apps within each section are listed in alphabetical order.
