A covered pick. Anyone can use it as a private drop-in, with no setup or know-how. Enough for most people. Threat levels
Our take
Built for organizations, not individuals, and that framing matters before you pick it. The default tags here say unencrypted, so treat it as a self-hosted Slack alternative for team collaboration rather than a private messenger. Choose it when you need to own your company’s chat infrastructure; skip it if end-to-end privacy between two people is the goal.
