TLDR: they're both bad, but it might be interesting to know what each one does

Neither offers something like slack, though. Is that true? with channels and all that stuff

If you want something that's more like Slack you should check out Mattermost. It's got a few other features like a Notion-like project management and a checklist feature. But like Matrix/Element it's open source and can be self hosted if you don't want to use their cloud product.

+1 to Mattermost. It's like having an open source Slack which can be self-hosted. There are a number of companies that use it including NASA and Samsung.

Matrix has channels. Or what are you referring to? I did nor use slack since many years

[–] speck@kbin.social 2 points 3 years ago (1 children)

Channels are kind of like specialized convos. Like a community or subreddit, in a way. I see that matrix has chat, just didn't see anything about what other functionality comes with. Maybe I missed it on matrix.org

[–] Decentralizr@lemmy.world 2 points 3 years ago (1 children)

Yes matrix has that, rooms and also spaces

Thank you. I'm skimming through the site rn. Not quite clear on the steps to create an "instance" for a group

e.g., do you first get Element?

Edit: found this page: https://matrix.org/try-matrix/ that makes it a little clearer. If creating a secure forum is important for a team, do you have to create your own server?

[–] Decentralizr@lemmy.world 2 points 3 years ago

Own server is always the most private, but you can use any instance and should be fine. Its e2ee, so you should have a way better setup as with slack or Microsoft
