buc.ci is a Fediverse instance that uses the ActivityPub protocol. In other words, users at this host can communicate with people that use software like Mastodon, Pleroma, Friendica, etc. all around the world.
This server runs the snac software and there is no automatic sign-up process.
I'm in something like 13 different #Slack communities, mostly for various #journalist groups.
Lots of discussion in many about ICE.
Discussions about leaving slack due its ties to #Salesforce, who are supporting ICE?
Nothing.
Beberapa hari kepikiran kenapa gak ada yang bikin alternatif Discord/Slack tapi berbasis XMPP alih-alih bikin protokol sendiri.
Ternyata ada, cuma saya yang gak tahu 😌
I like how people are recommending a bunch of FLOSS messengers now, its an opportunity to check out underrated projects like I just a few minutes ago learned about the FLOSS project Quiet (https://tryquiet.org) from a discord community trying to relocate.
The website says its all E2EE P2P with tor built in, channels like slack/discord, no email or phone number required. Unfortunately no quantum resistant encryption on the roadmap so I still would recommend SimpleX for general purpose instant messaging but Tor-by-default and P2P are genuine advantages over Simplex
If you found this post interesting you might also be interested in these decentralised encrypted messengers with various pros and cons compared to eachother:

Quest to the Fediverse:
What are good Open Source Slack or Discord alternatives?
And what are the features you see as mandatory for a team communication platform?
Here I have to confess that I myself never got the hang of Slack. I always felt overwhelmed. So I feel completely unqualified for judging alternatives 🤪
Product update: Keeper Security has launched an integration with work platform Slack, enabling secure, policy-driven access governance directly within the platform. Your employees can now request and approve access to sensitive vault records, shared folders and privileged resources directly within Slack.
Es laufen gerade in eine kleinen Gruppe versuche, den Familienchat von #Slack auf ein selbst verwaltetes #Mattermost umzustellen.
Ich finde eine sollte das Wissen.
Yes! Yes yes yes, Hallelujah! #Slack added the Copy Message option by my request to the context menu. Now you blindies don't need to turn off and on your virtual cursor, browse/focus mode or whatever, you just press Ctrl+C or go to the context menu and select Copy Message! 🕺🏻

Stuff like this is so icky to me. Who is "so glad" I'm back? Slackbot? Not possible. Does this make me feel valued or thought about? Not in the slightest.
If you receive a #Slack message from me that says "Happy New Year!" it is because I typed 16 whole-ass letters and hit enter to send it to you. Why would I outsource that?
And if I receive a low-effort, one-click "Happy New Year!" from a colleague do I feel flattered? Like they were thinking of me? No.
I just can't figure out who gets positive vibes from this, so much so that they paid developers to build it.
One of my favorite "security challenges" is the "verify your email" one. By this point my email has been verified so many times it should have top secret clearance.
New #screenReader verbosity settings for messages are now widely available in #Slack, under the #accessibility category of preferences. You can now control which parts of messages are spoken and in what order.
As part of this change, you'll also find that recent replies in threads now have relative timestamps (e.g. "just now" or "2 minutes ago") instead of absolute ones. This update brings the screen reader experience in line with the visual interface, with absolute timestamps still being used outside of threads.
If you have suggestions or run into problems, please use the /feedback command and mention that you use a screen reader. Alternatively I'm also happy to pass along any issues if I can reproduce them.
@PinoBatch There are few things that make me quit a job.
Hudson Rock reports that an infostealer infection led to unauthorized access to Nikkei’s Slack workspace, affecting over 17K employees and partners.
The malware, originating from a Japanese endpoint, captured valid credentials and allowed attackers to browse internal chats and metadata.
No source data leaked - but the case reinforces how endpoint infections remain the root cause of major collaboration breaches.

@srol personally I hate ALL the shitty messengers, and to top it all off I literally had an employer that expected me besides #Sysadmin duties to be available on #Telegram, #Signal, #Discord, #Slack, #GoogleMeet m, #eMail and #Phone without even providing me a SIM with phone number, Smartphone or just 2nd screen and adequate system to shove all that garbage onto.
