"We as a community have to move away from Slack."

#2490332: Evaluate whether to replace drupal IRC channels with another communication medium →
issue was solved as moving away from IRC, but missed the opportunity to agree on a chat client the Drupal community want to use.
Therefore I am opening the floodgate again, as we deserve a better communication channel. I think we have to decide on this, otherwise the community will go with many different chat clients sooner or later..
It is interesting to read the comments on the above issue after one year. It seems many of the concerns raised does not really matter any more, as the community is using Slack. Maybe to make a decision will be much easier now.

This seems like an up to date list of slack replacements:

Maybe we should create a poll and run it for some months, where Drupal developers (drupal.org users) can choose up to 3 chat clients with order of preference. (3 because I run 3 different chat clients at the same time every day). Every chat client should be described, why/why not would be a good match for the Drupal community. That poll result would be interesting..
