I'd like to set something up for my students who work with me, a bit<br>
like what people have when they use IRC (which after more than 20 years<br>
I still don't grok) and slack (which is proprietary).<br>
<br>
The clickbait sites advertise 6 alternatives to slack (or 7 or 5,<br>
depending on the clickbait flavor -- <a href="https://xkcd.com/1283/" rel="noreferrer" target="_blank">https://xkcd.com/1283/</a> ) and I<br>
wonder if people have experience with any of them.<br>
<br>
The ones people talk about are "let's chat", "mattermost",<br>
"rocket.chat", "matrix", and I'm sure there are others.<br>
<br>
Has anyone set any of these up? I'm only interested in evaluations<br>
where people have set up their own workgroup server.<br>
