Slack’s free plan change is causing an exodus

Please understand that Zulip is nightmare software and it's absolutely not a replacement for useful productivity team software. Zulip is a joke (and an unfunny joke at that) for so many reasons. I've worked at three companies that tried and abandoned Zulip, all for good reason.

We have been self-hosting Zulip for about 3 years now and it is immensely popular.

It would be nice if there were a good fail over or cluster model so we could run it at multiple sites.

I'm a huge fan of Zulip. I use it heavily on leanprover.zulipchat.com (~4000 messages/week). I've never used it in the setting of a company.

What kind of issues did you hit? Doesn't sound fair to me to call Zulip an unfunny joke without providing any serious reason.

That's interesting - I've used Zulip casually and it's always been more responsive and stable than Slack, which has endless UI glitches both on my phone and laptop.

Not to mention that Zulip has some nice features like sane markdown and latex integration.

What has your problems with Zulip been?
