    Any suggestions on alternatives?

    Slack is ok but proprietary.

    Element is a new and eg fractal doesn’t have threading.

      Sorry to say, but no idea.

      We used separate applications for seven years (Jabber for IM and Asana for ticket management), and for me, that’s what I’m stuck with using Teams for, at least until Microsoft drops AI into and it eats itself.
