Remember that OpenStreetMap group possibly hit by a large slack bill? They've decided it's too much (~$10k) and will switch to the free teir.

10 years of OSM chat history are going away. 😢

@amapanda What are the chances OSM USA would adopt the same policy as OSMF - specifically, using open platforms and tools for communication?

@amapanda FWIW, I believe that Slack still stores all the logs (but not uploaded files) for free plans and they can be exported by admins.

But honestly I think it's better if realtime chat is mostly-ephemeral. Nobody wants to read their kneejerk comments from 10 years ago. But it still sucks if people were assuming they could rely on them.

@amapanda but they still continue on a closed platform owned by a company instead of going to open tools like rest of OSM community..
