OpenTofu is mostly getting users from the corporate world. My work is on Slack and we’re moving to OT. The lowest-friction for me as an OT-when-at-work user is to add another Slack. (I’d personally rather that they used an open platform. But it’s easy for me to see why they didn’t.)
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.
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).
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 )
Bro… why do opensource projects love proprietary collaboration platforms so much?

Is https://huly.io/ any good?

Plus, I don’t find slack super competitive in terms of features & usability.
I remember having a much better experience with mattermost.
Because most successful open source has commercial backing. Funny enough, most developers like to get paid.
