ah yes slack the app that won't let you voice chat in groups or store chat history unless you pay $7 per user per month. I'm honestly amazed how they've been getting away with it this long when discord exists

won't let you voice chat in groups

Weird, I guess I have been imagining doing that at work for the past couple of years. I do understand though, when you're used to apps like discord, you forget it's possible to not only gain new useful features, but have them actually work.

Slack's pricing logic makes perfect sense to me there. It's free and works for a large number of users, but the ones who actually need chat history probably can/should pay for it.

Yeah it's totally crazy that an app can be considered good enough that many thousands of businesses find it worth paying for. I mean why isn't every business using free Gmail accounts? Or for similar shittiness in the UI department, why isn't everyone using Hotmail?

I was pretty clearly only complaining about the features offered by their free tier, which I just checked does still not let you voice chat with three or more people or search chat history. (The chat history issue is more significant by far).

And yes $7 per user per month is not reasonable for an open source project with a few hundred members that doesn't have a budget, especially compared to discord that gives you unlimited chat history for free. All the open source projects I know that use chat use either matrix or discord.

"I paid for nothing, I don't I get everything? This janky shitty free app gives it to me!"

They give it for free to nonprofits. Anything else for the confidently incorrect movement today?
