Self hosting is golden. Sadly we already feel like we have too many services for our company's size, and the sensitivity of vulnerabilities in customer systems precludes unencrypted comms. IRC+TLS could be used but we also regularly send screenshots and such in self-destructing messages (not that an attacker couldn't disable that, but to avoid there being a giant archive when we do have some sort of compromise), so we'd rather fall back to something with a similar featureset

As a degraded-state fallback, email is what we're using now (we have our clients configured to encrypt with PGP by default, we use it for any internal email and also when the customer has PGP so everyone knows how to use that)

same here, we never left IRC

It’s super broken for me. Random threads no longer appear.

It’s acting up for me but wondering if it’s unrelated. Imagines failing to post and threads acting strange.

Looks like its gone down now
