If you want federation, I would suggest you don't use the "essentially federated" Slack, but the actually federated Matrix.

Tried with my friends a few years ago. We almost achieved escape velocity, but it wasn't ready. I've been keeping an eye on it, and my feeling is while it may be ready for what we needed then, it's not ready for what we need now, because now it has to be good enough to not just work but assuage my friends' bad feelings from the last time.

I think I'll probably try again once most people have switched to a server written in Go or Rust.
