just that you had to actually look at what the specific thing was.

in such circumstances, the “brand” is really “thing with trendy website”

Has anyone used Mattermost? Has anyone switched to Mattermost? How’s hosted Mattermost?

It passes the tickboxes of “actually open source” and “you can just buy hosting”, but I don’t know how it goes corporateishly
