I think Mattermost lost a lot of instance admins' trust when they recently decided to update the server to limit access to old messages without good reason. On self-hosted instances!

That's a shame, I interviewed there once, decided not to take it but it was one of the few places I could have seen myself working at, they seemed like decent folks trying to build something worthwhile.
Mattermost's license statements are confusing and contradictory.[1]

No. It's not fully OSS.
it’s also not decentralised (unless you bridge it to Matrix), nor end-to-end-encrypted. or standards based.
To be fair, why would you care if your internal organization or company chat is decentralized?

Anything “sovereign” should decouple the protocol from the client software IMO, which isn’t possible with Mattermost.
Well there's always Matterbridge. If you don't have complicated workflows to replicate (and even then) you can just replicate to XMPP, Nextcloud or whatever.
