> Slack transitioned us from their free nonprofit plan to a $5,000/year arrangement, we happily paid. It was reasonable

Their definition of reasonable and mine are... not aligned.

Just self-host an IRC or Jabber server for crying out loud.

For a single $5,000 I'll personally teach each of your users to use it.

We use a lot of Slack specific features, especially bots, and it's more of a pain to move thousands of users and channels than to just pay up.

Slack has raised our charges by $195k per year
