Today is probably a fine day to mention that I've been working on a self-hostable Discordslacklike called Chatto. It's steadily moving towards feature parity with the big kids, with everything crammed into a single compact 50 MB executable that can run off the cheapest VM you can find.

Please don’t put SSO behind paywall. It turns me and many others off of a project very quickly. One of the biggest issues I have with Discord is how it locks information away. Will it be possible to make channels, especially forum type ones, visible and indexed by search engines?

SSO: Chatto will in fact be SSO-only, so it's not going to be behind a paywall at all! (But it'll initially only speak OIDC, so if you need SAML/LDAP/OAuth, you'll need to bridge it with another IdP.)
