What is a good open platform for the tech business? My corp want to go full Teams, which sucks even more than Slack. At least most tooling has a Slack integration of some sort.
mattermost?
There is also Zulip
Is https://huly.io/ any good?
https://elest.io/open-source/huly offers managed-hosting, but their "if you want REAL support, that is $50/mo extra subscription" thing is something to consider..
There's got to be something that they're offering, there ( I'm probably going to be using hosted-Lemmy for my publishing-platform, soon, so these questions are oblique to mine )

I don't know. I might say "Matrix" and run a private server? But that's a bunch of IT work. It's attractive to use a SaaS because you don't have to do any long-term planning or hiring; just pay Slack a crazy amount of money and it all works.
Corps also like a commercial paid service because they get a contract with an SLA (even if it's rare to actually get anything from these SLAs).
