I highly recommend Zulip to other communities. Were
coming from Freenode as our only real-time
communication so the difference is night and day. Slack
is a no-go for many due to not being FLOSS, and Im
concerned about vendor lock-in if they were to stop
being so generous. Slacks threading model is much
worse than Zulips IMO. The streams/topics flow is an
incredibly intuitive way to keep track of everything
that is going on.
