I've been wondering for a while why Discord won't take on Slack. They would only need to undercut the monthly price and offer an enterprise version with the gaming memes and content cut out. Discord is similar enough to Slack that teams would have no trouble migrating either.

We even use Discord instead of Slack.

FWIW I find the apps are significantly snappier than Slack. Both built on Electron interestingly

Discord seems to have a huge focus on performance. On a number of their blogs they talk about monitoring the frame rate of the desktop and mobile apps for example... I'm not sure Slack goes that far.

Why not Riot/matrix? It's free.
