Even $5k/year seems insane to me for hosting what is essentially an IRC channel...

Just IRC with

- a decent mobile client that uses the same account - and decent notification system - a backlog that survives disconnects - a search - file and media uploads that actually work behind NAT, and also persist - markdown

But yes, certainly Slack isn't the only option here.

With file hosting. Which can occupy a lot of storage, but yeah, pricing is still insane.
