@moonman @clacke I liked #Mattermost in the very limited place I tried it out. It was just the lack of active users that caused me to close the account.

#Riot (or perhaps #Synapse; somewhere in the #Matrix ecosystem) is still too alpha to be recommendable. It is obvious that both of them are inspired by something else that I have not seen or used ( Possibly #Slack? ) which probably does all the same things.

"Use X; it is the same thing but slightly different" doesn't seem to work very well as a way of persuading people.
