Enshittification comes for open source:
Slack is kicking two large open source groups, Cloud Native Computing Foundation and Kubernetes, off of their donated enterprise tier, giving them one week notice to migrate multiple years of data to a new platform before it's all deleted: https://www.cncf.io/blog/2025/06/16/cncf-slack-workspace-changes-coming-on-friday-june-20/

Instead of learning from this experience and not trusting the good will of profit-motivated closed source companies, it looks like both projects will be moving to ... Discord. Because "people know it." Will we never learn?

(Dropped Cory because he's probably getting tons of spam from this. Sorry!)

@huxley @pluralistic There's a relatively straightforward process for migrating from Slack to Mattermost, which is designed to be familiar to Slack users. That's not the case with Discord.

@huxley @foolishowl @pluralistic We run Mattermost at work, and I run an instance myself. It's not bad!

@pluralistic @duncan_bayne @huxley @foolishowl Is “rate” a typo of “hate,” or is this some way of saying “I rate it highly?”

@ramsey @duncan_bayne @huxley @foolishowl

"Rate" is a colloquial way of saying "value."
