Hi Rob, I'm Ian, CEO at Mattermost. Apologies for repeating the question from jrflowers, but I couldn't resist:

>Out of curiosity, will you be facilitating them exporting their chat history?

Mattermost is self-hosted and enables full data control.

There's some organizations that want to move to Mattermost for various reasons.

It's important for them to bring along their data.

Wondering what your opinion might be?

cancelled our company's slack plan when all this news dropped. We're looking at Mattermost, the reviews are really good

What a weird attempt at injecting your product marketing.

Although transparently self-serving, this seems like a perfect time to say, "Hey, this couldn't happen to you at Mattermost because we A) have a free tier, and B) allow you to export your data."

This is hacker news, hackers are ceos, too, and have a very relevant product or service to sell. If anything he didn’t do it enough in this thread.

I was wondering about what options exist for Slack, and Mattermost along with a few others do seem to have a completely free layer.
