@mrcompletely @shauna From my perspective, the SaaS cost was quite a bit higher for Mattermost, and we didn't need some of the more advanced security features they market in defense & financial settings. I also liked that Zulip's marketing and community spaces were nearly completely devoid of AI references, whereas Mattermost is all over AI (and, with ties to Matrix, still into crypto/blockchain). I'd rather a platform that doesn't seek to exploit its customers.
@wcbdata @shauna certainly. My one use of mattermost has been driven by a stakeholder audit requirement of on-prem hosting. I'm not exactly in love with it. Thanks a lot for the info
