It is battle tested, standardized, widely used, have open source servers and apps, end-to-end encryption (OMEMO), self-hostable and are low on ressources and federated / decentralized.

I use it with family and friends. Conversations and blabber.im on android and Gajim on Linux. There’s also apps for windows and Apple.

Curious if anyone here use it and why, why not?

EDIT: Doh. In these Lemmy times I forgot federated. Added.

          My wife uses teams for work, it seems pretty nice, it has everything in place, like video meeting, meeting note, calendar, and everything seems very streamlined.

          Slack just don’t have anything. What is your complaint about teams, is it unstable or something?

            Buggy, uses a ton of resources, super weird UI. I’ve said no in job interviews to companies who use Teams as their main communication platform. Slack is “fine”, but much better than Teams. At least it works, especially from Linux.

              My wife’s company mainly use windows, and I have never tried it on my computers, so that is probably why I never heard much complain about it.

              I think for them, they just use teams and couple other software, nothing resources intensive, so the resource consumption is probably fine for them.

                Yep. And all complaints come from hackers/developers/programmers. Especially if you search Hacker News, you can find hundreds, if not thousands of comments where people just can’t stand of Teams at all.
