This. Companies should be charged, sure; but an upside of Slack is that I can use various tech community’s Slack, the union’s Slack, and the coworking’s Slack in the same app.

None of them can pay, and they should be sponsored by our usage of Slack for our main job.

They can all better use Discord, whose model works on a per-user (not per-user-per-community) billing model. So less good at separating money from corporations but better aligned with non-commercial organisations as you don't need to pay $2k/month as none-profit just to keep chat history.
