Slack

It was bought by sales force and sales force cut us off at the knees by changing the limit on free accounts to 90 days instead of 10,000 messages.

So what now?

Live with it?

Pay for it?

Switch to something else?

Pro Tip: CTRL+K is your best friend. This is your universal search and switch option. If you want to quickly switch to a different channel or workspace, you type CTRL+K and enter the first few letters of what you are searching for.

With Discord you can order channels any way you like. And you can put emoji’s in the channel names which gives it a nice visual.

The Discord mobile app… I want the experience to be consistent with the desktop experience (ie) I have access to all of the same features, just tucked away a little more neatly.

Threads in Discord work 1,000x better. It shows up on the left as a sub-channel. And you can decide how long a thread stays active (eg 1 day, 7 days…). Then it gets archived and its really easy to access the archived threads and if you comment on it, it goes active again for that same expiration period.

What are the other choices?
