We've been using a combination of Discord / Telegram / Google Meet instead of Slack and haven't had any problems. There are lots of great alternatives out there.

I'm no slack advocate, but you just described using three services to replace one. There will be some extra mental overhead to such a setup, even if it is not huge. I think something like mattermost carries the advantage of one service, one interface, one place for things; it's a little easier than "oh, in which did I put that?".

They also just described 3 services where you don't own the data.

You DEFINITELY don't own your Slack data

Which is a selling point for applications like RocketChat and Mattermost.

I wish there was something as simple to use as Discord but selfhosted. The closest thing I've found so far was rocket.chat which is only halfway done or Matrix which has close to no admin tools available.
