We host Rocket.Chat ourselves (300+ people company), and when it's down (which is very rare), all it takes is to make a visit to the IT guy on the same floor. Also our infosec people are happy sensitive data is not stored on servers we don't control. There've been attempts to move to Slack or Google Chat without success.
Is there something we're missing by not using Slack?

Did you intend to reply to the person you did?
My understanding of the parent post was poking fun at the fact that these chat spaces (Slack or otherwise) allegedly end up being a productivity loss as people spend more time finding the meme-of-the-week to post rather than working.
Nothing to do with the viability of Slack or whatever instant messenger you choose to use.
