I tried Zulip with the rust community and it completely ruined slacks “threads” for me.

Its the equivalent between a pot noodle and a steak dinner.

Zulip has a lot of other issues though, the app and on-boarding… but I really struggle to enjoy slack now.

teams, however, is a total dumpster fire for serious communication outside of video meetings and some minor ad-hoc 1:1 interactions.

Crashing constantly and being a resource hog killed Slack for me.

That and DMs being visible to whoever pays.

Teams, specifically on Mac and Linux, has been a shit-show of instability, weird one-off behavior, blank screens on start, login loops etc for my team. With how amazingly well Microsoft did with Visual Studio Code, it's a bummer how it seems that none of that expertise can be translated to other teams (in this case, the Teams one) as well...
