Exactly - nothing so far. But it's impossible to believe they won't.
>If you’re hiring employees, paying under ten bucks a month per user for a full communication suite is not bad.
Yeah, if the Slack is for an organisation of full-time employees, the pricing is a non-issue.
All the cases where it's been a problem are something different: either an organisation of volunteers, or just a collective of people, or maybe an org that has some employees and some contractors who might be inactive for a while etc etc.
I believe they won't because that's what's in their marketing copy. Their selling point is a lack of those features.
Organization of volunteers, collectives of people, why aren't they using free stuff like Discord that is incredibly feature-rich in comparison? This is where I brought up the lack of features being a problem, because you could just use Signal, WhatsApp, Discord, etc. By having so few features, it's competing with a whole lot of free stuff.
Regarding contractors, Slack handles external organizations in a pretty comprehensive way, very much unlike this product.
